Sterling Silver Dendritic Opal Pendant

A one-of-a-kind handmade sterling silver pendant set with a 30x15mm oval dendritic opal. Soft blue-white opal is swept with delicate, fern-like dark markings that look like a misty winter landscape at dawn, held in a clean, polished bezel and hung horizontally from a handmade bail.

No two dendritic opals are alike, so this pendant is truly one of a kind.

About the stone

Dendritic opal is a common (non-play-of-colour) opal containing natural "dendrites": branching inclusions of manganese and iron oxide that grow through tiny cracks in the stone over thousands of years. The name comes from the Greek dendron, meaning tree, because the markings often look like tiny ferns or frosted branches.

Each pattern is completely natural, never painted or printed, which makes every stone a little piece of art made by the earth. Dendritic opal is said to bring calm, growth and a sense of connection with nature.
