Gemstone Tree, Red Garnet on Québec Dolomite

Handcrafted in Québec City by MineralCharm, this gemstone tree leans out over a slab of pink dolomite quarried at Sainte-Clotilde, Québec. Its trunk and branches are shaped one strand at a time from twisted silver-tone wire, then hung with polished red garnet chips that read almost black until the light passes through them. Because both the base and the stone are natural, every tree is a one-of-a-kind piece.
