This is the ring people ask about. A 32mm oval dendritic agate with dark tree-like inclusions frozen in cream stone, set in a hand-fabricated sterling silver bezel.
Product Specifications:
Dendritic agate isn't actually agate with plant material - those branch-like patterns are manganese oxide that seeped into cracks as the stone formed, crystallizing into fern and tree shapes. This stone shows dramatic black dendrites spreading across cream with rust-orange tones at the edges. The 32mm size is substantial - this is a statement ring that doesn't apologize. The wide sterling band distributes weight so it sits comfortably without spinning.
Big rings aren't for everyone, but if you wear them, you know. This one's sized for a larger hand (size 9) with a band wide enough to balance the stone. Sterling silver means you can wear it daily without worrying about plating wearing off. The bezel setting protects the stone edges from chipping.
The dendrites (from Greek "dendron" meaning tree) form when mineral-rich water seeps through fractures in chalcedony, leaving behind these organic-looking patterns. Each stone is completely unique because the fracture patterns and mineral flow never repeat. These formations can take millions of years.
Sterling silver, regular wear. The agate is durable (6.5-7 on Mohs scale). Clean with soft cloth as needed.
This exact stone is what you'll receive - truly one-of-a-kind.
