PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Rare Dendritic Opal
This rare and highly sought-after Opal is a stunning gemstone that exhibits a range of colors from white to pale yellow, and light green. What sets this Opal apart are the intricate dendritic inclusions, which are formed by Manganese Oxide crystallizing in tree-like, multi-branching patterns within the stone. These dendrites create a captivating visual effect that is often mistaken for plant fossils. The inclusions form as water, rich in Manganese and Iron, flows through tiny cracks and layers within the Opal, leaving behind these unique and beautiful patterns.
Due to the rarity of this material and the striking appearance of the dendrites, these Opals are highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Their beauty and the fascinating natural process behind their formation make them a true gem in any collection.
