Tree of Happiness and Wealth with Tiger's Eye

The Tree of Happiness and Wealth with tiger's eye is an expressive decorative piece shaped like a miniature tree with a spreading crown of natural stones in a golden-brown shade. Thin twisted branches emphasise the natural shape of the tree, while the stones with silky golden reflections make it a warm and noble accent in any interior. The tree stands in a clear glass jar filled with tiger's eye chips.

Tiger's eye is valued for its warm golden-brown colour and silky sheen, which seems to flow across the surface as the stone turns. In stone symbolism it is associated with confidence, courage, success in business and protection. Combined with the image of a tree, it becomes a harmonious symbol of growth, moving forward and prosperity.

Properties of tiger's eye

Tiger's eye is a fibrous variety of quartz. It formed when quartz replaced fibres of the mineral crocidolite, and the iron in them oxidised, giving the stone its golden-brown tones. The stone is named after its characteristic light effect — a moving band of light resembling a tiger's pupil. This effect is called chatoyancy.

Tiger's eye is a hard stone (6.5–7 on the Mohs scale), so it keeps its colour and lustre well.

Since ancient times, warriors and merchants carried tiger's eye as a talisman, believing it gave courage and helped in business. In stone symbolism, tiger's eye is associated with:

self-confidence;
courage and determination;
success in business and trade;
protection;
stability and common sense.

Because of these meanings, tiger's eye is considered a stone for those who run their own business and want to move confidently towards their goals.

The meaning of tiger's eye in Feng Shui

In Feng Shui tradition, the tree is associated with growth, development, vitality and renewal. Golden-brown shades belong to the Earth element and symbolise stability, reliability and the accumulation of wealth, so the tiger's eye tree can be used as a symbolic decoration linked to confidence, stability and success in your affairs.

Such a tree symbolically combines:

luck and well-being;
growth and development;
confidence and courage;
success in business;
stability and reliability;
prosperity and new opportunities.

The warm golden-brown crown makes the tree especially suitable for a study, an office or an interior in natural, wood tones.

How to use

The tiger's eye Tree of Happiness can be placed on a desk, chest of drawers, shelf, cabinet or coffee table. It suits a home, office, study, shop, salon or any workspace.

In Feng Shui practice, the tiger's eye tree can be placed in the centre of a room, linked to the Earth element and balance, or in the north-east — the knowledge and development area. It can also stand on your desk as a symbol of confidence and success in business.

To create an oriental-style composition, you can place Chinese coins, decorative ingots, a wealth bowl or other Feng Shui symbols nearby.

The tree does not have to be used only as a talisman. Thanks to its natural stones and unusual shape, it works perfectly as a standalone interior decoration.

Care

The tree is a decorative composition made of stones, so it does not need watering.

To care for it, simply:

remove dust with a soft dry cloth or a small brush;
do not use abrasive cleaning products;
avoid strong impacts on the stones;
do not place the tree where it can easily be knocked or tipped over;
gently straighten the metal branches if needed.

This care will help preserve the warm colour of the stones and the neat shape of the composition.
