The drawing of the tree of life motif
We made this mango wood card holder for you if you want a compact, decorative yet refined piece. The lid is decorated with a carved tree of life drawing, complete with branches and roots, with a soft greenish-blue amazonite stone in the centre. The tree of life is an old, familiar symbol that many people associate with home, family or long life.
Amazonite colour and appearance
Amazonite is a characteristic soft greenish-blue stone, sometimes with small white flecks. You will immediately notice the pleasant, calm shade it brings to the warm wood surface. The stone is set into the carved recess and secured with adhesive, so it stays in place during everyday opening of the holder.
How you can use it
The interior is sized for an average tarot deck (or a similarly sized card set). The lid lifts easily, so the cards are easy to take out and put back. Many people also keep a small charm, keepsake coin or a small note inside, next to the deck.
Mango wood as a material
Mango wood is a hardwood with a lively grain, so each piece is a little different and your holder will be unique. The surface is sanded and finished with a natural wax coating, giving it a pleasant feel and modest resistance to minor scratches. With proper care, it keeps its lovely form for many years.
Care tips
Keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight. For cleaning, use a dry or barely damp soft cloth, and avoid chemicals. If it gets wet by accident, dry it immediately. With these simple steps you can enjoy it for years and confidently give it as a gift as well.
