We love this stone! The pure white matrix looks wonderful while worn, and the landscapes or touches of dendrites are very fascinating and inspiring.
Dendritic Opal seems to be a generic term for opal from locations throughout the world which has dendritic inclusions, generally black fern-like or moss-like inclusions in a base of common opal (opal without play of color). The base opal can be anywhere from transparent to white, yellow, tan or green; and peruvian pink and blue opal is also sometimes referred to as "Dendritic Opal" when these inclusions are present.
The patterns occur naturally due to the presence of iron and manganese oxide Dendrites.
There are dendrites found in many stones we carry....we heart dendrites.
