Tree of Happiness and Wealth with Green Aventurine on a Stone Base

The Tree of Happiness and Wealth with green aventurine on a stone base is a handcrafted decorative piece: a miniature tree with a crown of natural stones in a minty green shade is mounted on a solid piece of natural stone. The fresh green crown and light base make the piece look like a small living tree. The base is a large raw piece of green aventurine, so the tree stands steadily on any surface.

Green aventurine is rightly considered the main "money" stone: its fresh green colour recalls young leaves and new banknotes. In stone symbolism it is associated with luck, new opportunities, optimism and financial growth — which is why it looks so natural in the crown of a money tree.

Properties of green aventurine

Aventurine is a quartzite — a dense rock made of quartz grains. Its green colour and gentle shimmer come from inclusions of fuchsite, a chromium-bearing mica. This shimmer is called aventurescence.

The stone's name is linked to the Italian a ventura, "by chance". Aventurine has a hardness of about 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, so it keeps its appearance well.

Green aventurine is called the "stone of opportunity" and the "stone of luck"; it is often carried by gamblers, entrepreneurs and anyone starting something new. In stone symbolism it is associated with:

luck and good fortune;
financial growth;
new opportunities;
optimism;
renewal and development.

The meaning of green aventurine in Feng Shui

In Feng Shui, green belongs to the Wood element — the element of growth, development and abundance. That makes a money tree with green aventurine one of the most harmonious choices: both the shape and the material symbolise increasing wealth.

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;
financial prosperity;
new opportunities;
optimism and ease;
stability on a solid basis.

Where to place it

The classic Feng Shui place for a green aventurine tree is the south-eastern part of a room, the wealth and abundance area. It is also placed in the eastern area, linked to family and health, on a desk or near a cash desk.

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 green aventurine on a stone base is a symbolic and long-lasting gift for a birthday, housewarming, anniversary, business opening or professional holiday. A green money tree is a traditional gift for a business opening, housewarming or anniversary as a wish for luck, growth and financial well-being.
