Dendritic Agate History and Uses:
Dendritic Agate, sometimes called Tree Agate, derives its name from the Greek word meaning “tree-like” which describes the patterns created by the dark inclusions of iron or manganese called dendrites. In the past, it was connected with the Ancient Greek Dryads, spirits of the forest, and was buried in the fields when crops were sown to ensure a good harvest. Traditionally it had been used to support new mothers and encourage lactation.

Dendritic Agate Geological Description:
Agate is a form of banded Chalcedony, a mineral of the quartz group. It has a trigonal crystal structure and a hardness of 7. Dendritic Agate is not banded so is not strictly an agate in scientific terms. Most Dendritic Agate comes from Brazil, India, and the USA.
