Dendritic Quartz
Dendritic Quartz, also known as “Stone of Plentitude”, is the trade name for Quartz with branching fern-like inclusions. The word “Dendrite” comes from the Greek word “dendron” meaning “tree”. While it appears as a little plant is found within the Quartz, it is actually due to inclusions of iron, manganese, hematite and other metallic oxides that grow in a fractal pattern. These minerals from the host rock enter the Quartz as it is forming and “branch out” as growth continues creating beautiful formations that look like ferns or trees. Dendrites can form in other stones like Agate and Limestone.
