Item Description

Quartz is easily the most "inclusion friendly" gem out there. The word Dendritic comes from the Greek word "dendros" meaning tree, as the inclusions in Dendritic Quartz typically resemble plant life. This stone is what is known as Dendritic Quartz with inclusions of golden-brown Manganese oxide or Iron oxide. The stone was difficult to photograph, but it really is beautiful up close. It has a "Square Cabochon" cut.
