Dendritic Opal:  formed through groundwater picking up silicates as it settles down into underground deposits, and picking up elements of iron and manganese also. The term “Dendritic” refers to the tree-like patterns formed by the iron and manganese inclusions as the concoction hardens over time, the word originating in the Greek word for “tree”. Interesting look, sort of like a snowed-out landscape.
Metaphysically, the gemstone Dendritic Opal is said to work around increased spiritual awareness.
