Dendritic Agate is a chalcedony containing branch or fern-like
markings called dendrites. This stone is considered an agate even though
it does not portray a banded appearance that is common with most
agates.
The famous Russian jeweler Carl Faberge made use of this stone in combination with diamonds and other precious gems. Dendritic agate is prized in Russia as a stone of long life, good health and prosperity.
