MEANING:-

The dendritic gemstone is a luminous, achromatic range of chalcedony quartz and can be easily distinguished from other gemstones because of the tree or fern-like motifs which are known as the ‘dendrites’. These motifs are usually brown or black colour giving the gemstone a vibrant look. Although dendritic gemstone is not a genuine agate as it doesn’t have typical branding like other agate stones yet it is considered as one of the rarest and most demanded varieties of agate gemstone. The tree-like motifs in the dendrite gemstones are because of the presence of inorganic traces of iron, manganese, potassium or other metallic oxides. These metallic oxides crystallize inside the dendritic gemstone in the form of branches.

Dendritic inclusions in the dendrite gemstone are usually in the form of branches but in some stones, they are in spotted clusters which are referred to as “mosquito stones”. According to the Mohs scale, the dendrite gemstone has a hardness between 6.5 to 7 with a refractive index of 1.530 to 1.540 and a specific gravity of 2.59 to 2.67. This semi-precious gemstone can be easily distinguished from other gemstones because of the dendritic inclusions and its silicon dioxide composition. Although one can easily get confused between dendritic agate and moss opal because of the presence of dendritic inclusions both can be easily distinguished from one another by simply testing their respective hardness.
