These two pictures really illustrate why I have to ask a lot of questions before I make trees - these are both 'green and blue trees on a simple base with gold wire'

This first one is malachite and lapis - it is what I would call a solid stone tree . . .

The second one is prehenite, chalcedony, yellow jade, kyanite, and peridot - it is what I would call a crystal tree - meaning that most of the stones are clear
