Dendritic - Aggregate composed of skeletal or tree-like
formations. May be a single entity, or a formation that forms
from mineral-rich solutions that deposit the mineral in rock and
form a tree or plant structure embedded in rock.
There sometimes is a distinction noted between the two
aggregates; in some guides the former aggregate (single entity)
is known as skeletal,
and the latter as dendritic (embedded in rock). Other guides, such as
this one, don't distinguish the two, and term them both as
dendritic.
