Tree of Life Buffalo Leather Journal with Gemstones

Expertly crafted using both contemporary and traditional methods, each Tree of Life buffalo leather journal is bound by hand and ready to withstand any knocks and bumps on their journeys with you. The buffalo leather used for the cover is a by-product of the meat industry in India and is tanned using only natural dyes. Protected with natural oils, it will soften and age beautifully. The pages are created from khadda paper (also known as kaddi or khaddi). This sustainable material is crafted by hand from recycled cotton, salvaged from the huge waste of the Indian garment industry. Only unbleached cotton is used, ensuring the paper is acid-free. Lightly textured and luxuriously thick, it feels beautiful to write, draw, or paint on. While it's perfect for ball-point pens, gel pens, or watercolours, we wouldn't recommend it for use with fountain pens. The semi-precious stones stitched onto these journals are unique by nature so they may differ slightly. • The Carnelian stone symbolises warmth, strength and bravery. • The Amethyst stone symbolises happiness, humility and sincerity. • The Amber stone symbolises courage and self-confidence. • The Aquamarine stone symbolises happiness and hope. • The Citrine stone symbolises abundance, prosperity and success. Our journals can be used in many ways, here are a few ideas: • Using it for journaling. • Letting your creativity flow by scrapbooking/painting. • Keeping organised by creating your own bullet journal, with habit trackers and your monthly calendar. • Making a gratitude/reflective diary, perfect for writing affirmations, your goals, and intentions for the future. • Taking a travel journal on all your adventures, making it an excellent companion for solo travellers. • Logging your dreams and sleep patterns to gain a deeper understanding of your inner self. Due to the nature of the material and handmade quality of this product, each journal is unique and comes with its own set of beautiful creases, bumps and marks that develop with age into something truly special.
