Dendritic Opal 9-10mm Irregular Rondelle - 15-16 Inch

This variety of opal is named "dendritic" for the small inclusions within it that resemble moss or ferns. These inclusions consist of iron, manganese and other metallic oxides captured during the forming of the rock. Opals are hydrated amorphous forms of silica, created when silica hardens within the fissures of other stones.

Note – Due to the unique hand-made manufacturing process of these beads, the strand length, bead measurements, colors, and beads per strand counts may vary slightly from what is listed.
