A beautiful dendrite! Dendrites are NOT a fossil, but a crystal growth with branching patterns that resemble a plant. Water that permeates into cracks and seams in rock leaving behind the trace minerals, like manganese-oxide, forms dendrites. Generously donated by the Moab Rock Shop!

Dimensions: 4.5" x .75" x 6.25"
