Gem trees are not uncommon to see at gem and craft shows, however mine are special.  I try to include a larger number of stones and also tailor the stones to a particular season of need of the person I am making the tree for.

This tree is a perfect example of that principle.  It is called the 'dead of winter tree'.  As I have mentioned I am highly influenced by Druid beliefs so I included a tiny piece of mistletoe on this tree.  The Druids believed that mistletoe was the most sacred plant because it appeared to be immortal.  They could see it on trees even when the rest of the tree appeared to be dead during the winter.
