Dendritic Quartz with it’s tree like, fern shapes and branches is a very interesting and pleasing gemstone. . Although the dendritic pattern appears as a fossilized plant, it is really inorganic manganese oxide. When moisture and iron mix, the result is oxidation, better known as rust. Oxidation is an every day occurrence. It even happened in gemstones. Traces of moisture and iron or manganese were trapped inside quartz, which produced stains resembling trees or branches

Dendrites are most often formed by manganese oxide or manganese oxides. Some of the other manganese oxides that form dendrites, are in the hollandite group of manganese oxides. They are coronadite, cryptomelene and hollandite. Two other manganese oxide minerals that form dendrites are romanechite and todorokite.

Like most included quartz, the primary sources of Dendritic Quartz are Brazil and Africa.

called dendrites. The word Dendrite comes from the Greek word “dendron” meaning tree. Hence the name Dendritic or Dendrite Quartz.
