Lapis Lazuli Aura Bonsai Tree (3x6")
Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock made mostly of the mineral lazurite, along with flecks of golden pyrite and white calcite, traditionally associated with wisdom and truth. This handmade gem tree, about 3 x 6" tall, wires deep-blue lapis chips onto bonsai-style branches over a small base. The chips carry an aura coating, a man-made iridescent finish applied to the stone's surface that adds a shimmering rainbow sheen to the natural blue.

How to use it
Place the tree on a shelf, desk, or entryway table as a decorative focal point — it stands on its own base and needs no water or soil. Some people set an intention around clarity or abundance when placing it in a room. Because each tree is handmade, the branch shape, chip placement, and exact form vary from piece to piece, so yours will be unique and may differ from the photo.
Care & cleansing
Dust the tree gently with a soft, dry cloth to keep the branches and chips clean. Keep it dry and out of direct water — both the aura coating on the chips and the wire wrapping are best maintained away from soaking or harsh cleaners. Avoid placing it somewhere it could be knocked or bent, since the wire branches are delicate.
