Dendritic Agate Mineral Specimen

This is a small, irregular-shaped mineral specimen held in the palm of a hand for scale. It appears to be composed of agate or possibly chert with dendrite formations. The dominant color is a milky white to light gray, with significant dendritic inclusions in shades of dark brown, gray, and black, forming intricate, branch-like patterns. The surface is somewhat rough and unpolished, displaying the natural fracture or growth patterns of the stone. There are also areas with a waxy or slightly translucent appearance. One notable feature is a small, circular or oval indent on the surface, which could be a natural vug or inclusion. The edges are irregular and sharp in places. Based on the appearance, this is likely a natural formation without any discernible manufacturing marks or alterations. The overall condition appears to be good, consistent with a natural, unworked stone. It exhibits the typical rough texture and imperfect form of a raw mineral specimen. There are no obvious signs of significant damage, repairs, or artificial patina.
