Today I went to the International Mineral Fair in Den Haag (the Netherlands) looking for some 'treasures' and I found some! I bought these lovely dendritic opals from Turkey. They look like little paintings to me.
Dendritic opal is also called 'Moss Opal'. Dendritic refers to a natural tree-like or moss-like marking on a rock or a mineral. The name comes from the Greek word 'dendron', meaning 'tree'.
Now up to some sketching/designing/thinking... I am looking forward to it!
