Dendritic Opal Cabochons
This beautiful material typically has a light tan to white background and well-formed dendrites, or moss,
formed of manganese. Sometimes refered to as moss opal, this stone is mined in Australia, and takes a
great polish. There are no flashes of color like there is in precious opal but this gemstone does make unique and
conversation starting jewelry.
