The composition of this stone includes a black mineral known as Manganese, with the dendrites taking a distinct leaf-like shape that resembles a fern.ĭendritic Opal is also commonly known as Merlinite, which is often used when the stone is being referred to for its metaphysical properties.

This process occurs again and again until a dendrite is produced. However, overall, the protuberance becomes amplified. In opposition to this is the action of the surface tension tending to flatten the protuberance and setting up a flux of solute atoms from the protuberance out to the sides. This increases the diffusion rate to the tip. Any protuberance that develops is accompanied by a steeper concentration gradients at its tip. In the latter case, there must be a concentration gradient from the supersaturated value in the solution to the concentration in equilibrium with the crystal at the surface. Dendritic crystals can grow into a supercooled pure liquid or form from growth instabilities that occur when the growth rate is limited by the rate of diffusion of solute atoms to the interface. Dendritic crystallization forms a natural fractal pattern.

Dendritic crystal growth is very common and illustrated by snowflake formation and frost patterns on a window. A crystal dendrite is a crystal that develops with a typical multi-branching tree-like form.
