Dendritic opal spheres from Madagascar are also highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of natural history. Dendritic opal is a type of common opal that contains dendritic, or tree-like, inclusions of manganese or iron oxide that create unique patterns resembling ferns, branches, or feathers.

Madagascar is known for producing high-quality dendritic opal spheres, which are typically polished to bring out the unique dendritic patterns and colors. These spheres are often used for decorative purposes and as a healing stone in crystal therapy.
