Dendritic Quartz

Item Description

Quartz is easily the most "inclusion friendly" gem out there. This stone is what is known as Dendritic Quartz with inclusions of Manganese oxide or Iron oxide. The word Dendritic comes from the Greek word "dendros" meaning tree, as the inclusions in Dendritic Quartz typically resemble plant life. This stone has some of the beautiful typical inclusions showing a the arborescent, "plant like" appearance that you would expect from a Dendritic Quartz. The stone was difficult to photograph, but it really is beautiful up close. It has a simple "Round" cut.
