Black Dendritic Agate is a type of agate known for its unique, tree-like inclusions, called dendrites, which are typically black or dark brown. These patterns are created by manganese or iron oxide deposits that form intricate, branch-like shapes within the agate, resembling natural landscapes or mossy growths. Unlike other agates with banding, dendritic agate is prized for its organic, earthy appearance.

Dendritic agate can be found in several locations worldwide, including New Mexico. It is often associated with grounding and stabilizing energy, making it popular not only among collectors but also in metaphysical practices.
