Besides this neckpiece being pretty and stylish, the reason I picked it is because of the stone. Dendrite quartz as it is being called. I adore staring at dendrite quartz! It is like little branches trapped in a stone. It has patterns which look like a fossilized plant. Multi-branching but also looking a bit like a snowflake or a frost pattern. Depends on how you define/see it. It’s like magic.
This Mania Mania Phenomena neckpiece part of the Fine collection which you might know pretty well by now. (The rings are ah-maze!)
The dendrite quartz has patterns which look like a fossilized plant. Multi-branching but also looking a bit like a snowflake or a frost pattern. Depends on how you define/see it.
Dendrites are fern-like inclusions of iron, manganese, or other metallic oxides that create bold patterns within the gem. It’s a form of crystallization. Each stone, and so each neckpiece is a one-of-a-kind.
This neckpiece is, as I said, stylish. A simple design perhaps but one which will make you feel special for sure.
