AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Tree of Life with leaves in Tiger's Eye, carved on a natural amethyst druzy.

This sculpture combines the bold character of Tiger's Eye with the luminous depth of amethyst. The leaves, crafted from small carved fragments of Tiger's Eye, display alternating shades of gold, brown, and iridescent reflections typical of the phenomenon of chatoyancy: a play of light that makes each branch lively and dynamic. The warm tones of the stone, from honey to dark amber, give the foliage a rich and vibrant appearance. The trunk, shaped with a soft and realistic flow, supports the foliage like a mineral bonsai. The roots seem to embrace the base, a splendid natural amethyst druse full of shining points. The violet hues of the geode, from the deeper zones to the lighter shades at the edge, add an elegant contrast and a striking presence. The combination of the two stones creates a fascinating aesthetic balance: the warm light of Tiger's Eye reflects on the freshness of amethyst, bringing to life a decorative object that immediately captures the eye. Perfect as an exhibition piece, to bring color and natural material into a modern environment, or as a symbol of stability, grounding, and protection. A unique decorative tree, made with authentic materials and carefully crafted with attention to detail.
