Description

Firmly rooted in genuine amethyst, this enchanting Gemstone Bonsai with copper roots, trunk and branches bears gemstones rather than leaves or fruit. Natural variations will occur.

Museum Story

Similar to bonsai-themed artworks in our Freer Gallery of Art, the gemstones celebrate the 2,500 minerals and gems displayed in our Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals.

Need to take the time to repackage and return. I have always been delighted wiyj my Smithsonian purchases, but stones in the tree are brown tones and very drab. Not the vibrane puple, pinks and greens pictured. MN

I had bought one for my daughter which had a mix of colors,including blues, pinks, so I ordered this for myself and was dismayed that it was all brown stones, appearing to be like a dead tree. I am very disappointed. Newfield, N. Y.

The amethyst base is a very pretty color with shades of purple but I wish there were more bright and light colored gemstones. I like the twisted wire trunk and branches. They are easy and fun to arrange. Chicago IL

My husband bought this for me last year for Christmas because I love geology. It's beautiful and the perfect size for my office decor. I know that no two are alike but the picture is almost exactly what you get. Thank you for offering such a unique gift! Lafayette, LA

One of my granddaughters loves purple; a gem tree seemed a nice way to indulge her fondness. Tucson, AZ
