The pendant has stunning “tree” formations or dendrites. It has some nice transparency and other natural inclusions that contribute to its unique appearance. Every time I look at the stone, I see something different. “Dendritic quartz/agate is characterized by fern-like or tree-like inclusions within the crystal. These inclusions, called dendrites, are formed when mineral-rich solutions, like those containing iron, manganese, or other metallic oxides, seep into tiny fractures within the quartz crystal. Over time, these minerals precipitate and grow, creating intricate fractal patterns. Also known as Tree Agate, it is a type of quartz that contains fern-like or tree-like inclusions of iron, manganese, or other metallic oxides. It is believed to possess a variety of metaphysical and healing. Dendritic Quartz is popular for its aesthetic appeal and perceived benefits within the crystal healing community.”
