PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Nice trio of Dendritic Opal standing free forms with yellow tints
Dendritic Opal, also known as Moss Opal, is a rare and sought-after gemstone displaying colors from white to pale yellow and light green. Its defining feature is the intricate dendritic inclusions, formed by Manganese Oxide in tree-like patterns within the stone, often mistaken for plant fossils. These unique patterns result from mineral-rich water flowing through tiny cracks in the Opal.
