    Derek, All the chrysoprase rough I have worked with has dendrites.
    Usually near the edge of the seam. Most are small and not very
    interesting in shape so they usually get cut out. (commercial cutters
    avoid them) However, sometimes there is one (some) that extend into
    the body of the seam with a very nice shape. This is a gift from the
    rock gods. Use it! cut a really cool (maybe even scenic) cab worthy
    of a fine piece of art jewelry and make your friends and colleagues
    green with envy. (groan!) Mark
