This broad teardrop cabochon is unusual among dendritic agates in that the blue-grey chalcedony dominates the entire face, giving it the character of a soft, cool-toned stone with only modest dendritic detail. The body is a quiet blue-grey-white throughout, with fine dendritic formations scattered lightly rather than clustered at the edges - a spray of small ferns on the right, a few scattered dots near the center, and light fern clusters near the outer margin. A natural fracture line runs along the left side, visible under the polish. The overall impression is quiet and restrained: a large blue-grey teardrop with dendritic whispers rather than a dominant ink-landscape pattern.
Brazilian dendritic agate is well known for this kind of chalcedony base with organic inclusions, and pieces where the chalcedony tone is stronger than the dendrite coverage are common within any parcel. The dendrites are natural and untreated. The pear/teardrop outline at 55mm makes this a practical choice for a large pendant drop or focal piece in a wire wrap.

About agate
Agate is banded chalcedony, a quartz made of microscopic crystals. At 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale with no cleavage, it is tough and durable.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: vibration and sudden temperature changes can crack it.
Wear and storage
Agate is hard enough for everyday wear, and it can scratch softer gemstones stored with it. Harder stones such as topaz, sapphire, ruby and diamond can scratch it, so store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This agate is untreated. Agate should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath.
