Large Amethyst Gemstone Tree on Citrine Cluster Base
Located in New York, NY
This one-of-a-kind, uniquely handcrafted gemstone tree brings together two of nature’s most iconic crystals – Amethyst and Citrine – in one striking display. Featuring vivid Amethyst crystal “leaves,” each sculptural cluster radiates with the regal purple tones for which the highest-quality Amethyst is prized. Rooted in a natural Citrine crystal cluster base, the contrast between the deep violet foliage and golden, druzy citrine below creates a mesmerizing interplay of color and energy. The base itself showcases raw geode texture, with shimmering crystal points and banded agate along the edges: showcasing the mineralogical story and authenticity of the piece. Every branch of this gemstone tree is expertly shaped by hand to mirror the organic flow of a bonsai tree, resulting in a piece of mineral art...

Large Rose Quartz Gemstone Trees on Amethyst With Selenite
Located in New York, NY
These Rose Quartz gem trees are a genuine work of art and a showcase of mineralogical harmony. Meticulously handcrafted from natural crystal, the trees' vibrant Rose Quartz leaves have been expertly arranged in naturalistic clusters along flowing wire branches to evoke the serenity of bonsais in bloom. The miniature forest rooted in a breathtaking natural matrix of Amethyst and Selenite, a visually rare mineral combination. The Amethyst forms a bed of deep violet crystal points prized for their clarity, luster, and saturation: hallmarks of high-quality specimens. Woven through the Amethyst is a radiant deposit of Selenite whose silky luster and fibrous transparency offer a stunning visual counterpoint. This variety of Gypsum acts as both a grounding and illuminating presence beneath the sparkle of the Amethyst. Together, the minerals create a geological tableau that will serve magnificently as a centerpiece for collectors of fine mineral art...

Genuine Sericho Pallasite Meteorite
Located in New York, NY
This luminous Sericho pallasite meteorite slice offers a captivating view into the early solar system. Dating back approximately 4.5 billion years, this stony-iron meteorite was discovered in Kenya and officially recognized in 2016, although the fall is believed to have occurred decades earlier. This Sericho slice features a mosaic of orange and green Olivine – the gem variety of Peridot – suspended in a gleaming iron-nickel matrix. Especially when backlit, the Olivine crystals radiate with striking transparency and color. Pallasites make up less than 1% of all known meteorites and are among the rarest and most beautiful of extraterrestrial materials. Thought to originate from disrupted asteroids in the early solar system, specimens like this one likely formed at the boundary between a molten metal core and a silicate-rich mantle – or through high-energy impacts between differentiated bodies. This meteorite slice offers a literal cross-section of planetary formation and destruction. A true standout for any meteorite, mineral, or space memorabilia...
