Crystal Trees

The wish-granting crystal tree is one of the more popular items in the Feng Shui tool box. People believe it has the power to bring consistent profit and long lasting wealth. Hung with small crystal chips, it is believed that the chips have the power to deflect and neutralize bad energy that would interfere with your success.

The crystal tree is a replica of the traditional Chinese “wishing tree.” These trees are placed on desks or tables to wish for increased luck, wealth and fortune. According to legend, the crystal tree was created by a faerie that fell in love with a village boy. She planted this wealth producing tree to ensure their everlasting happiness and comfort. This started not only the belief in Feng Shui crystal trees attracting wealth, but the traditions of leaving wishes written on slips of paper that are hung or placed near a wishing tree to bring good fortune.
