Amethyst Crystal Money Tree

Most shelves hold things that just sit there. A row of books, a candle nobody lights, a frame you stopped noticing months ago. This one earns its space. Every branch is copper wire, twisted and bent by hand, and every leaf is a chip of natural amethyst, so no two trees leave the workshop looking quite the same. The whole thing roots into a raw amethyst cluster, cut flat underneath to stand steady but left rough on top so you can see the crystal exactly as it came out of the ground. Light catches it in the afternoon and throws small purple flecks across the desk. It is small enough for a windowsill, a bedside table, a bookshelf corner or the dashboard of a car, and it arrives in a paper gift box, which makes it an easy present for someone who already owns everything practical. Choose six, nine or twelve branches depending on how much of a statement you want it to make. Give a dull corner something worth looking at.
