Dendritic Agate

The word, 'Dendritic', comes from Greek and means 'tree-like' which perfectly describes the look of many examples of this gemstone with markings and inclusions that look just like branches and leaves or even complete trees or forests. You would almost swear that it was organic material trapped inside a stone - a bit like mosquitoes stuck in amber - but it is all crystal.

Dendritic Agate Colors

Dendritic Agate tends to have a white, cream, gray or yellowish base color with inclusions of black or brown caused by manganese or iron that creates the tree-like illusion.

Ideally the gemstone will have a light background for the contrasting forest-like landscapes to stand out dramatically.

Dendritic Agate Species

Although it is described as an agate, Dendritic Agate is technically a chalcedony (which in turn is a type of quartz) as it lacks the customary banding for a true agate. However, agates, chalcedonies, jaspers, onyxes, carnelian and more all share very common crystal structures and are divided into different gemstone varieties by their looks more than scientific categories.

Other famous agates include:

Moss Agate
Blue Lace Agate
Sardonyx
Fire Agate

What are the spiritual benefits of Dendritic Agate?

Dendritic Agate has gained the nickname, 'the Stone of Plentitude' for its ability to bring prosperity, good health and longevity.

Its other virtues include:

Improves Self-esteem
Emotional Balance
Aids Communication
Promotes an affinity with nature

Dendritic Agate and the Chakras

The Chakras can be influenced and realigned by a gemstone with a color that matches the relative chakra. As Dendritic Agate can feature numerous colors it can affect multiple Chakras although I feel the light almost white background color is most potent for the Crown Chakra while the black/brown inclusions will have more bearing on the Root Chakra.

Dendritic Agate Price

Dendritic Agate is a very affordable gemstone with the examples displaying the most interesting or realistic tree- and fern-like patterns getting the higher prices. A gemstone with an even, light colored base color and an impressive natural-looking landscape will be the ideal Dendritic Agate.

Generally, a fine quality Dendritic Agate gemstone should cost around $2 per carat with only the most spectacular natural looking scenic displays demanding higher prices.

Dendritic Agate Treatments

Other than the cutting and polishing it takes to produce these lovely gemstones, Dendritic Agates are not known to be artificially enhanced with treatments such as heating or dyeing. Look out for any vividly colored agates of any variety as this is often a sign of a dyed gemstone.

Dendritic Agate History

All types of agate have a long history of use by man stretching back thousands of years. The organic and natural look of Dendritic Agate has meant it has been linked to harvests, crops and the promise of good yields. Greek farmers would bury Dendritic Agate gemstones along with seeds when sowing and the Romans associated Dendritic Agate with the goddess of plants, Flora.

Where is Dendritic Agate found?

Everthing about researching and ordering from Gemselect was easy and uncomplicated. In the past I had payment problems, but your customer rep, Thomas, helped me get everything right. I will continue using Gemselet in the future for these reasons.

I've been collecting gemstones for a while now so I wad excited that I found a relatively cheap site to gems from. When I opened to package i was a little surprised and how small they were but it's literally marketed for jeweler's so I understand why my little square cut sapphire is the size of a crumb, but all in a ll I'm very happy with what I ordered.

I ordered peridots online and they were very close to the shade in the photo. They had a good polish and pretty good lapidation for a commercial cut. They had the correct critical angles for the ri of the material so that the stones had life in them. The down side was the lack of tracking and the length of time that it had taken to get them.
