Dendrites are often mistaken for fossils but are actually “Pseudofossils”. A dendrite is a common example of a pseudofossil. It forms in highly detailed or organized structures that look like lifeforms that have become fossils, but they are manganese oxides that have crystallized along a rock fracture.
This piece will look great in a stand in a display case.
Will be a great addition to any one’s mineral collection.
The metaphysical properties: Manganese is said to act as a grounder. The calcite in the limestone is used as an energy amplifier and memory aid.

Manganese Dendrite Mineral Specimen
This specimen from the Solnhoffen Quarry in Germany consist of dendritic patterns of black manganese oxides that contrast sharply with a buff-colored matrix of fine-grained limestone. The dendrites appear as rows of tiny, beautifully detailed, tree-shaped etchings atop the smooth limestone bedding planes.
Although they may appear to be fossils, these dendrites are actually of mineralogical origin.
