All of our crystals are 100% genuine specimens and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Geological and Mineral Composition
Lapis Lazuli is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of Lazurite (Na₃Ca(Si₃Al₃)O₁₂S), often accompanied by inclusions of Calcite, Pyrite, and Sodalite. Its vivid royal blue to ultramarine colour is due to sulfur-containing minerals within the Lazurite component. This mineral has been prized since antiquity, used by ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Sumerians, and Greeks for jewellery, seals, and pigments like ultramarine. The natural Pyrite flecks that sparkle through the deep blue body of the Lapis add to its celestial appearance, symbolising stars in a night sky.
Chalcopyrite, the base of this gem tree, is a copper iron sulfide mineral (CuFeS₂) known for its metallic lustre and iridescent surface displaying rich peacock colours—golden, purple, blue, and green. It crystallises in the tetragonal system and is typically found in hydrothermal veins and contact metamorphic deposits. Chalcopyrite is one of the most abundant copper-bearing minerals and serves as an important ore in copper extraction. The vivid colours on the surface are due to natural oxidation, producing a rainbow-like sheen that beautifully complements the Lapis Lazuli above.
Visual and Aesthetic Qualities
This stunning decorative piece showcases the deep celestial blues of Lapis Lazuli paired harmoniously with the radiant metallic iridescence of Chalcopyrite. The contrast between the matte gemstone chips and the reflective mineral base creates a captivating interplay of light and texture. Each wire-formed branch has been individually positioned to mimic the natural growth of a bonsai or miniature tree, giving the piece a balanced and organic aesthetic. The solid Chalcopyrite base provides stability and grounding energy, while its naturally glittering surface enhances visual appeal from every angle.
Metaphysical and Healing Properties
Lapis Lazuli is renowned as a stone of wisdom, truth, and enlightenment. It is said to stimulate intellectual ability and encourage honesty of the spirit, making it an essential crystal for those seeking self-awareness and clarity of thought. Associated with the Third Eye and Throat Chakras, it is believed to enhance communication, creativity, and intuition.
Chalcopyrite, often called the Stone of Happiness or Peacock Ore, is celebrated for its ability to align one’s energies with joy and abundance. It is believed to stimulate positive thinking and encourage openness to new opportunities. The combination of Lapis Lazuli and Chalcopyrite brings together intellectual insight and spiritual joy, forming a powerful duo that enhances both mental clarity and emotional harmony.
Display, Craftsmanship, and Authenticity
Each gem tree is hand-crafted with attention to detail, ensuring a durable and visually balanced form. The scale rule squares/cube = 1 cm in the photograph provides a clear visual guide to size, allowing you to appreciate the proportions of this one-of-a-kind piece. The wire branches are adjustable, allowing for subtle custom positioning to suit your display preference.
Whether placed on a desk, meditation altar, or display shelf, this Lapis Lazuli Gem Tree on Chalcopyrite base serves as a natural statement piece symbolising balance, creativity, and prosperity. Perfect for collectors, healers, or lovers of genuine natural art, it unites geological beauty with timeless craftsmanship.
