Gemstones
by tammy on September 1, 2007
I wrote about watches from Ecclilssi earlier this summer, so I went over again recently to take a look at their jewelry. While I was a tad disappointed not to see more jewelry on the web site, I did find a few interesting pieces made from 14 karat gold and agate.
What is so cool about this use of agate, called dendrite agate, in jewelry designs is how the agate looks as if small pieces of a tree were fused into the gemstone, but actually, it's not organic material at all according to this description from Mineral-N-More:
The term dendrite comes from the Greek word "dendron", which means a tree. This description is appropriate because we often describe the form and structure of a metallic dendrite as that of a tree with a main branch or trunk, from which grow side branches, from which grow smaller side branches, and so on.

I like the effect here...that tree look. I found a piece of tourmalinated quartz that has a similar effect. The tourmaline crystals remind me of reeds. Haven't done anything with it yet.
