About Dendritic Opal:  Dendritic Opal or Moss Opal is the name given to any Opal included with tree or fern like silicates or manganese oxides. A Dendritic Opal IS a true Opal, yet it is a common Opal, meaning it has no play of color.  Dendritic Opal is thought to promote spiritual growth. The famous Carl Faberge (think Feberge Egg) was a fan of Dendritic Opal and used it in a number of his pieces, some of which were supplied to the Russian imperial court.  Dendritic Opals serve to heal wounds from the past, and bring the ability to approach others without prejudice. They are great for enhancing the achievement of personal goals and bring abundance and prosperity to one’s life.

About Amazonite:  Amazonite is a type of feldspar, ranging in color from bright green to bluish green.   Like most gems, amazonite has a colorful folklore. Said to have been worn or named after the Amazon women warriors during the Bronze Age, amazonite was also reported to have been used by the Egyptians. Although its' name is derived from the Amazon River, no deposits have been found there!  Amazonite is known to help filter out stresses, and aids in communicating truth to others.
