Dendritic Agate Pendants in Sterling Silver  

What Makes Dendritic Agate Different From Other Agates

Dendritic agate forms when mineral-rich groundwater flows through rock fractures, depositing iron and manganese oxides in branching patterns. The stone rates 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it durable for regular wear. Major sources include Brazil, India, Madagascar, and parts of the American Southwest. The "dendritic" name comes from the Greek word for tree, describing the fossil-plant appearance of these mineral formations. Our sterling silver settings protect the stone while keeping the dendrite patterns visible. The silver content meets the .925 standard, meaning 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength. We have carried natural dendritic agate since opening in 2005, and each piece ships with the stone's properties intact—no dyes, no synthetic fillers. Browse the full range to find dendrite patterns from subtle wisps to dense forest scenes. Filter by price, pendant size, or setting style to narrow your selection.
