AUSTRLIAN DENDRITE OPAL GEMSTONE JEWELLERY

Dendritic Opal from Australia is a black and white ornamental gemstone with regions of opaque white common Opal, transparent gray to colorless chalcedony, and attractive black to brown dendritic manganese oxide inclusions. In the new-age community, Dendritic Opal is commonly referred to as "Merlinite". The dendrites have made this gemstone popular. Dendritic describes the creation of fine fern-like branches in which some minerals crystallize, similar to the structure of frost and snowflakes. When you look at Essentials Jewelry's dendritic opal jewelry, you won't be able to believe that this gemstone has not been made artificially. The fact that the dendrites grew automatically is astounding.
