    Check out Lapidary Journal February 2002 there is an article on
    dedrites..  Chrysoprase is a chalcedony and it does occur with
    dendrites but I would imagine that the solid ones probably sell
    better. There is a book mentioned in the article called Genstone and
    Chemicals: How to Create Color and Inclusions. by Dr. Geprge W
    Fischer.  Pub. 1991. Lap journal can probably get you a copy of that
    issue.   A most interesting article.   Moss Agate is actually Not an
    agate at all but is a chalcedony with dendrites.   hope this 
    helps. good luck.
