Beautiful Dendritic Agate Butterfly Wings with Stand. This item is 10 inches tall and weighs 10.3 OZ. The stand is gold metal with dendrite wings. Dendritic agate is a type of chalcedony from the agate stone family, along with Botswana agate, fire agate, and blue lace agate, among others! While most dendritic agates have a milky body tone, they can also appear translucent to opaque. The milky base creates a beautiful contrast between the dark brown to black inclusions.
What are dendritic agate’s inclusions made of?
The stone’s inclusions, called “dendrites,” are a mixture of manganese or iron oxide minerals that were trapped inside the gemstone when the agate formed.
When a white agate features black dendrite inclusions, the effect emulates a striking wintery scene of snow blanketing tree branches. Who knew that these minerals interacting would create such a picturesque stone?
Chalcedony is a type of quartz that comes in many varieties, including black onyx, carnelian, and sardonyx.
On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, dendritic agate ranks at a dependable 6.5-7, making it durable enough for everyday wear.
In astrology, dendritic agate is the zodiac stone presiding over Gemini. If you were born between May 21 to June 20, this black and white gem may be the perfect stone to match the dual nature of the Gemini twins.
