Dendritic Jade Beads

True dendritic jade is olive green to blue-green nephrite with dark dendrites (branching, treelike structures). Like many of the jade beads on the market, we believe our Dendritic jade to be a form of serpentine. (The Chinese word for jade is applied to a variety of minerals, including nephrite, jadeite, serpentine, agate and quartz.). These light green to olive green beads are a nice color match for BC Jade, with the addition of dendritic inclusions in black, dark brown and reddish brown.
