Dendritic Agate with Druse Heart - 2.0 inch

Dendritic Agate Heart is a polished puffed heart in a translucent white to grey base, marked with fine black or brown dendritic inclusions that branch like ferns across the stone, with small natural druse pockets adding sparkle where tiny crystals line a cavity. Each Heart carries its own arrangement of dendrites and druse, and the domed shape sits well in the palm or on a stand.

Dendritic Agate is traditionally associated with balance, abundance, and a connection to nature, and it is commonly kept as a grounding, growth-minded stone. In heart form it is often displayed for its natural patterning or held during reflection. Its landscape-like markings make it a distinctive gift.

As a natural stone, each Dendritic Agate Heart differs in the density of its dendrites and the placement of its druse pockets, so the pattern will be unique to your piece.

Geological Information
Dendritic Agate is a chalcedony variety of the quartz family, a microcrystalline silicon dioxide with a Mohs hardness of 7 and a trigonal structure. Its branching, tree- or fern-like markings are dendrites, formed by manganese or iron oxide crystallizing through fractures in the silica during formation; despite the botanical look, they are mineral formations, not fossils. The small druse pockets are cavities lined with tiny quartz crystals. It was used in ancient Greek and Roman traditions as an agricultural talisman. Sources include India, Brazil, the USA, Kazakhstan, and China.
