Description:Quartz is easily the most "inclusion friendly" gem out there. The stone in this pednant is what is known as Dendritic Quartz with inclusions of Manganese oxide or Iron oxide. The word Dendritic comes from the Greek word "dendros" meaning tree, as the inclusions in Dendritic Quartz typically resemble plant life. This stone has some of the beautiful typical inclusions showing a the arborescent, "plant like" appearance that you would expect from a good Dendritic Quartz. The stone was difficult to photograph, but it really is beautiful up close. It has a simple "Square Cushion" cut, and is set into a sturdy and eye-catching Sterling Silver pendant. Better in person, as the photos are not nearly good enough to convey the quality and craftsmanship of the piece. Please note that this piece does NOT come with a chain.
