Zeolite Apophyllite Tree of Life: Carnelian
Zeolite Apophyllite Tree of Life: Carnelian is a crystal tree built from small carnelian chips wired on as "leaves," rising from a natural white zeolite and apophyllite crystal base. The warm orange-red carnelian sits in contrast against the pale, sparkling mineral cluster it grows from.

About
Crystal trees are a display format built by wiring small gemstone chips onto a wire "trunk" rooted in a natural mineral cluster base, so every piece is one of a kind. Here, the base is zeolite with apophyllite, two minerals that often form together in cavities within volcanic rock and are known for their pale color and glassy, sometimes pyramidal crystal faces. The "leaves" are carnelian chips, a form of chalcedony known for its warm orange-red color. In crystal tradition, carnelian is associated with vitality, motivation, and creativity, and is linked to the sacral chakra. It is a popular addition to a home altar, shelf, or desk, and pairs well with other pieces from our crystal trees collection.
How to use it
Display it on a shelf, desk, or altar as a decorative focal point. Because the base is a natural crystal cluster, choose a stable, flat surface away from the edge of furniture. Handle the wired branches gently, since the wire can bend out of shape with rough handling.
Care
Dust the piece gently with a soft, dry brush or cloth rather than washing it. Both zeolite and apophyllite are delicate and can be damaged by water or soaking. Keep it out of direct sunlight for long periods, and away from high-traffic areas where it could be knocked over. Avoid bending the wire branches repeatedly, as they can weaken and break over time.
