A picture’s worth a thousand words.
A Manganese Dendrite’s worth a thousand pictures.
A good quality Manganese Dendrite can be a huge boulder with a fingernail sized, crystal clear picture right in the middle. It can also be a fingernail sized rock with a brilliant scene on one side. Or it can be any sized dendrite with pictures on one side, or it could be 2 sides to more than 20 sides. (very irregular shapes with many surfaces.)
The pictures can be space flowers, ghosts, ferns, dots, a sun, rainclouds, or a sunset over a mountain with clouds and forests in the foreground. The picture can go around a bend in the rock, or continue through the rock. And if you split a rock, you can get a double (shown below)
The picture on the dendrite is what makes it a Manganese Dendrite.
The picture can be one color on a different colored background.
Or it can be several different colors, including yellow, orange, brown, black, blue, or pink.
