Dendritic opal is a type of common opal (not exhibiting play-of-color) that features branch-like or moss-like patterns within the stone. These patterns, often resembling miniature trees or forests, are created by inclusions of manganese and iron oxides within the opal. Dendritic opals are sometimes referred to as "moss opal" or "tree opal".
Here's a more detailed look:
· Inclusions:
The characteristic tree-like patterns are formed by dendrites, which are microscopic crystals that have grown in a branching, tree-like fashion.
· Appearance:
Dendritic opals can be opaque or translucent and often have a milky or opalescent sheen. The background color of the opal itself can vary, but the inclusions are commonly black, dark green, or brown.
· Hardness:
Dendritic opals typically have a hardness of 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, making them relatively durable.
· Formation:
Dendritic opals are found in the veins and cavities of igneous or sedimentary rocks, often near other types of opal.
· Uses:
Dendritic opals are used in jewelry, especially as pendants, earrings, rings, and bracelets. They are also collected and admired for their unique natural patterns.
