Geocache Description:

Cedar Rim Rd # 2301 A good place to look for Dendritic Agate on the way to the cache. If interested check out those white rocks. When the road is graded it kicks up new chunks along the road.

Dendritic Agate is a part of the big Chalcedony family. The chemical formula is SiO2. The composition is silicon dioxide. This mineral has a level 7 hardness and a specific gravity of 2.6 - 2.7. Dendritic agate is probably the most amazing mineral of this family – because of its beautiful patterns resembling trees or bushes, which may be strikingly realistic. These patterns (usually black or brown, while the agate itself is white or light grey) are caused by the manganese and iron oxide and hydroxide impurities.

Dendritic Agate is believed to aid in communication with the plants and animals, in understanding the Nature. It is associated with the protection of the earth, rain, prosperity, abundance, healing, restoration and creativity. It helps to improve self esteem and emotional balancing, it also helps to start new friendships.
