Just like ourselves, crystals naturally come in all different shapes, sizes and colours, but can also be carved into different symbolic forms. The art of crystal carving is an ancient one that dates back to civilisations like the Mayans, Romans, Chinese and the Egyptians.
Just as each crystal has it's own unique properties, the shape or form of the crystal can also enhance it's inherent properties or even add new ones to the stone, which can enable us to utilise it in more or different ways.
Trees represent many different things to many cultures. They represent strength, growth, foundation, life, nurturing, connection, interdependence, wisdom and healing.
They are a symbol of family - a roadmap to knowing your ancestors.
They show us that we can make it through all kinds of trials and tribulations, if only we stand tall and stay grounded.
They share so much wisdom, love and knowledge with us without us even realising, until we find ourselves looking to nature, to the ngahere for answers.
Crystal trees are much the same, just on a smaller scale. As crystal tress come in all different variations of stones, the properties of each tree varies. The crystal tree is often associated with abundance, balance, healing, connection and manifestation.
How we love to use them!
Abundance: The crystals represent wealth and the form of the tree symbolises growth and expansion. Having a crystal tree in your space can serve as a reminder to attract abundance and manifest prosperity in your life.
Healing and Meditation: Crystal trees can amplify the healing energy. Each crystal on the tree may have its own unique healing properties, and the collective energy of the crystals and the tree can promote balance and well-being. It can be used as a tool for energy healing or as a focal point for meditation.
Connection: Crystal trees can draw the energy of nature within. The branches and crystals mimic the beauty and the energy of a real tree, bringing a sense of grounding and connection with the natural world. Keep a crystal tree indoors where the space feels disconnected to the outside world.
Manifestation and Intention: Crystal trees can be used as a manifestation tool. By setting intentions and focusing your energy on the tree, you can align yourself with your desires and goals. The crystals act as conduits for your intentions, helping to manifest them into reality.
Each crystal has its own unique properties, so it's always a good idea to research the specific crystal you are working with or check out our Crystal Knowledge section to understand its individual energy and benefits, as well as the unique energy each shape brings.
Remember, the most important thing is to connect with the crystal in a way that feels right for you. Trust your intuition and allow the crystal's energy to guide you on your journeys.
