The Spirit Tree is grounded at the base. The trunk of the Spirit Tree grows in a manner and shape that gravity allows. The color of the trunk is determined by the mineral nutrients at the base. The leaves are forced from the branches and rely on the warmth of the sunlight to open. Our glass Spirit Tree Witch Balls are made from recycled glass in the Carpathian Mountains; the land of superstition, old world mystery and storybook folklore. As the ball is molten hot, the glass is formed, the ball is rolled into German made colored glass granules to provide the design. With this process each of our Spirit Balls are uniquely handcrafted and no two are exactly the same. Let the magic of our Spirit Balls protect and bring fortune your home. The size is 6" Diameter. Your tree will be absolutely unique! Images/Product Descriptions- Iron Elegance does its best to provide accurate product details on Amazon.
