Dendritic opal heart B

Dendritic Opals are unique in the Opal family they form when water rich percolating mineral solutions containing manganese & iron flows along naturally occurring fractures, fissures & bedding planes.

This type of opal features dendrites, which are fern-like inclusions of iron, manganese, or other metallic oxides that create bold patterns within the gem. Typically, dendritic opals are cut into slices to best exhibit nature's artwork.
