Extraordinary decorative figure representing a bonsai tree made of different minerals and semi-precious stones. It is a piece made in the Cairo region, thanks to desert minerals and local artisan tradition. Great decorative object that also provides a symbolic touch to spaces (harmony, peace and balance).

Amethysts, quartz, jades, agates and other colorful stones are commonly used. The structure of the tree is usually made of metal, wire or a solid base to which semi-precious stones representing leaves and flowers are attached. In this case, the trunk is golden and has a design that imitates the natural shape of a bonsai. Behind, as a stage, a large section of rose quartz, which symbolizes love and peace, and which brings calming energy to the environment. These objects are not only appreciated for their aesthetic beauty but also for the properties attributed to the stones that compose them.
