Dendritic Agate
Healing Overview
Key Words: Abundance, Communication, Change, Healing , Collective Consciousness
Chakras:
Technically speaking, Dendritic Agate should be classified as Chalcedony, because Agate is a subcategory of chalcedony and is only defined as an agate when there are clearly visible bands, or curved and parallel lines, which does not apply to Dendritic Agate, where the defining features are the veining or fern-like inclusions, which are known as dendrites. These dendrites are formed from trace amounts of Manganese and Iron. Dendritic Agate is usually white, grey, or a light yellow-brown (sometimes, but more rarely, purple), with black dendrites. The most common localities for this mineral are found in India, Madagascar, Brazil, Russia, and the U.S.A. While fernlike inclusions can occur in other colours, the stone is referred to as Dendritic when the inclusions are black. Stones with white Dendrites are less common. When opaque White agate occurs with Green Dendrites, it is known as ‘Tree Agate’. Transparent or clear agate with green dendrites is known as Moss Agate. The Dendritic Agate deposits are primarily found in igneous rocks. While agate is a common mineral, it is not generally considered valuable enough to mine in large quantities, so it tends to be found in alluvial deposits (on the earth's surface). Some agates are hollow in the centre, and these are called an agate geode, or for the smaller geodes an ‘Agate Almond’. Tree Agate with white dendrites is rarer.

Metaphysical Attributes
Agates in general act with lower intensity and vibration than other crystals, but are considered a stabilising or strengthening influence and pair well with other crystals. Dendritic Agate in particular promotes patience and perseverance, especially during difficult life phases or the manifestation process to bring about change. As with the Tree and Moss Agates, it is also associated with the Nature Kingdom and our connection to the Earth and plants. Other names (referring to the dendrites within the crystal) are “Stone of Transformation”, “Seeker Stone” and “Stone of Plentitude, as it is believed to attract abundance for commercial and agricultural projects and enterprises.

Crystal Care
Dendritic Agate is fairly durable, with a hardness of 6.5-7, and is suitable for carving. It can withstand most treatments, including water immersion, and is not believed to contain toxic minerals. As with most crystals, if your agate gets dusty or grimy, you can usually safely wash it with tepid water and an organic cleaner, then dry it with a soft cloth. Prolonged exposure to water may destabilise the stone's integrity. You would need to ensure that you don’t place your polished crystals against ‘rough’ or ‘raw’ crystals to protect them from scratching. As with most coloured crystals, they can fade when exposed to sustained sunlight, so, particularly in countries such as Australia, you would restrict their time outdoors or place them in an area with filtered sunlight. Selenite is a great option for clearing and recharging your crystals - especially if you have a charging plate or selenite log.
Suitable alternatives for clearing and charging your flower agate include smudging with sage, cedar, juniper or palo santo (or other cleansing and purifying herbs and aromatherapy oils), sound healing (with tuning forks, crystal or Tibetan bowls and bells, sound drumming), energy healing, or placing it on another crystal with clearing and cleansing attributes, such as a selenite charging plate. Earthing by placing it outside in a sheltered part of the garden is also a suitable method of cleansing and recharging; a good strategy could be to place it in a ceramic potted plant and expose it to moonlight or filtered sunlight for a few hours or overnight for ‘gentle cleansing’. Earthing allows the stone energy to reconnect with the natural energy of “Mother Earth’ and reinvigorate and revitalise crystals that have become ‘drained’. Other methods for cleansing, clearing, and charging your crystals can include visualisation (seeing a bright, pure white light surrounding the crystal and clearing it of any negative energies to restore it to its natural energetic state) or using healing modalities such as reiki to cleanse and recharge it.
