Gemstone Tree, Sodalite on Himalayan Quartz

Handcrafted in Québec City by MineralCharm, this gemstone tree grows out of a natural quartz cluster from the Himalaya. Its trunk and branches are shaped one strand at a time from twisted silver-tone wire, then hung with polished sodalite chips whose deep blue is streaked with white veining. Because both the base and the stone are natural, every tree is a one-of-a-kind piece.
