Dendritic Opal does not typically have a "play of color" like other opals; its main feature is the dark inclusions of manganese or iron oxides that create the look of tree branches running through each bead! These intricate branching patterns, called dendrites, resemble nature and are thought to enhance intuition, spiritual awareness, and connection to the Earth. #DakotaStonesGemstones #BeadAddict #DendriticOpal #RockHound | Dakota Stones
