Clean the stone leaves gently, like the leaves of houseplants – we recommend a soft brush. You can briefly rinse Hope the Turtle, but her apatite is sensitive to water. Do not leave her in water or a humid environment.
Tantric Hope the Turtle connects the powers of the elements of Fire, Earth, Ether, and Water. It harmonises the chakra system and strengthens inner stability, the courage to follow your own path, clarity of mind, and an open heart.
A Seedling Tree of Life grows directly from Hope’s back. Its golden and silvery copper branches carry blossoms of ruby with petals of apatite, and leaves of quartz with goldish rutile. On the lower side of her shell, a wired spiral invites life energy and supports the intention to walk your own path with perseverance.
Hope the Turtle with Tree of Life
The turtle is an ancient symbol of wisdom, protection, and perseverance. Across mythologies – from India to North America – she carries the meaning of a world-bearer, connecting the depths of Water with the stillness of Earth. In astrology, she is linked to patience, inner truth, and the ability to walk slowly yet steadily towards one’s goal. The turtle knows when to stay within – and when to step out with trust.
The tree is revered by all human cultures (read more in this article) as a symbol of eternal life and rebirth. It connects the past (roots), present (trunk), and future (crown).
The roots draw on the wisdom of ancestors, the power of Earth and Water. The trunk represents thoughts, words, and actions, channeling their energy upward. The crown branches into blossoms, leaves, and fruits, symbolizing the future outcomes of our everyday efforts.
Thanks to this connection, the mineral Tree of Life, just like living trees in the forest, connects with the forces of Earth and Sky and is continuously nourished by the energy of Nature.
I met this little turtle thanks to a group of mineral lovers and a small family workshop on Java, Indonesia. She is hand-carved from local calcite, proudly carrying natural crystals on her back. We first crossed paths in April 2025 – and despite the distance, it was love at first sight. From the very beginning, she made it clear: she wanted her own Tree of Life!
So she set out on a long journey – slowly, yet with perfect certainty – until she finally reached my hands. Just in time to join a tantric retreat at the Living Water Centre. With the loving support of the place, her wish came true on May 29, 2025! Her Tree of Life blossomed in sky blue with soft pink petals, crowned by shimmering goldish leaves…
Her joyful glow soon caught the heart of her new keeper – who gave her the beautiful name Hope. And so, together they stepped onto a new path of shared adventure…
Crown of Hope the Turtle
Hope the Turtle channels the power of the elements Earth, Fire, and Water and supports the energetic chakra system through her minerals:
💎 Apatite carries the strength of the Air element and harmonises the 5th throat chakra. It supports truthful expression, vision, and creative thinking.
💎 Quartz with goldish rutile, together they harmonise the 6th third eye and 7th crown chakra through the elements of Fire and Ether. They enhance intuition, clairvoyance, and connection to higher guidance. The rutile needles act as energy amplifiers – helping to “illuminate” inner confusion and reveal truth.
💎 Ruby carries the passionate strength of the Fire element. It strengthens the heart, courage, and a deep longing for an authentic life. It harmonises the 1st root and 4th heart chakra, supporting love, creative power, and the ability to act from depth.
🔶 Copper harmonizes the entire chakra system through the element of Ether. It dissolves energy blockages, soothes emotional swings, eases fear and brings zest for life. It boosts focus, self-trust and confidence. It revitalizes imagination, sensuality and both physical and creative fertility.
🌀 The spiral on the underside of Hope the Turtle enhances the flow of energy through all her minerals.

Joyful Hope the Turtle
Its combination of colors and minerals makes it a powerful protective energy talisman, supporting the 1st root, 3rd solar plexus, 4th heart, 5th throat, 6th third eye, and 7th crown chakras through the power of the elements Fire, Earth, Water, and Ether. She strengthens inner stability, courage, and an open heart. She supports the ability to walk your own path and to act consciously in line with your intention. If this is your wish, she can help to bridge your spiritual purpose with everyday life, bringing clarity of thought and inner peace.
Planting trees with ❤️
A forest is a family of trees, deeply interconnected through their roots. These roots support each other, exchange nutrients and send warning signals. Even mineral Trees of Life grow into the Magical Forest of Fulfilled Wishes, where they are connected with living trees in the Czech woods.
Hope the Turtle will have her living twin planted in autumn 2025.
Clean the stone leaves gently, like the leaves of houseplants – we recommend a soft brush. You can briefly rinse Hope the Turtle, but her apatite is sensitive to water. Do not leave her in water or a humid environment.
Minerals constantly work with the energy around them, so they need rest from time to time. Quartz with goldish rutile may fade in direct sunlight, so recharge your Hope the Turtle in indirect sunlight or under the full moon.
If you want your Hope to stay energetically clear and powerful, place her on an orgonite pad. This combination of resin, metal shavings, and clear quartz harmonizes and recharges all stones and beings around.
