The Quartz stone in this necklace features a dark black dendrite pattern that resembles a bare branch. A golden branch hangs above the stone on a dainty chain with faceted little beads. The stone is rests in a hand-dipped, two-toned setting.

Sterling Silver. Oxidized Sterling Silver. Fine Silver. Bronze. 18” long.

Dendrites can only happen when a crystal or host rock is cracked. The liquid that brings the manganese (or iron oxides) to form them seeps into the cracks and they form like fractals.

Many of these stones appear to have miniature nature scenes and landscapes inside of them.

Metaphysical: Dendrites support growth, both personal and financial. Grounding and connection to nature, especially the plant kingdom.
