About Dendritic Opal:
The group of precious opals includes a whole series of wonderful gemstones that have one thing in common: they shimmer and shine in an imaginative interplay of colours, including opalizing, a rainbow-like iridescence that changes according to the angle of view. Without the typical play of colours, they are simply called common opal.
The 'milky opal' belongs to the common opals as well as its varieties dendrite opal, moss opal etc.
The dendritic opal is a milky opal with dendritic inclusions. All dendritic opal gems are characterised by dark, dendritic deposits, some of trees, shrubs, ferns or just a moss (= moss opal) (dendritic, branched, ramified).
These inclusions are mostly iron and/or manganese solutions that have penetrated the stone.
