Tree of Happiness and Wealth with Red Jasper on a Stone Base

The Tree of Happiness and Wealth with red jasper on a stone base is a handcrafted decorative piece: a miniature tree with a crown of natural stones in a rich brick-red colour is mounted on a solid piece of natural stone. The dense, glossy stones make the piece bright and solid. The base is a large raw piece of red jasper with a natural pattern, so the tree stands steadily on any surface.

Red jasper is a stone of rich, earthy red colour with a unique pattern. It is valued for its warm tone, density and sense of reliability. In stone symbolism, red jasper is associated with vitality, endurance, protection and confident progress towards a goal.

Properties of red jasper

Jasper is a dense, opaque rock made mainly of fine-grained quartz. Its red colour comes from iron oxides, while veins and spots of other minerals create a natural pattern — no two stones are alike. The name goes back to the Greek iaspis, "spotted stone".

Jasper has a hardness of 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale. It polishes beautifully and holds up to everyday use.

Red jasper was prized in ancient Egypt and the classical world, where amulets, seals and jewellery inlays were carved from it. In stone symbolism it is associated with:

vitality and endurance;
protection of the home;
stability and reliability;
determination;
persistence in reaching a goal.

The meaning of red jasper in Feng Shui

In Feng Shui, red belongs to the Fire element and symbolises activity, recognition and success, while the dense, earthy nature of jasper adds stability. A red jasper tree on a stone base is a symbol of energy resting on a solid foundation.

What a tree on a stone symbolises

In Feng Shui tradition, the natural stone at the base symbolises support and a solid foundation, while the tree stands for growth and development. Together they form a symbol of prosperity growing on a reliable basis. Such a tree symbolically combines:

luck and well-being;
growth and development;
strength and endurance;
protection and reliability;
success and recognition;
prosperity and new opportunities.

Where to place it

In Feng Shui, the red jasper tree can be placed in the southern part of a room — the area of fame and recognition — or in a work area where energy and persistence are needed. The bright red crown looks great against a light background and in interiors with wood.

The tree on a stone is compact and looks great on a desk, bookshelf, windowsill, chest of drawers or in a display case. It can stand on its own or together with other Feng Shui symbols — Chinese coins, ingots or a wealth bowl.

Care

The tree does not need watering. Simply remove dust from time to time with a soft brush or a dry cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners and protect the stones from strong impacts. If needed, the metal branches can be gently straightened.

A Tree of Happiness on a stone as a gift

The Tree of Happiness and Wealth with red jasper on a stone base is a symbolic and long-lasting gift for a birthday, housewarming, anniversary, business opening or professional holiday. This solid red tree is a good gift for a manager, an entrepreneur or a friend as a wish for strength, energy, success and prosperity.
