No Rena.. Mt Shasta is Opal from Mt Shasta that just happens to be dendritic.

Where as dendtritification is a process that can occur any where on the planet. This explains what happens.

well i was asking because i asked someone if they had merlinite. they said yes.
then they told me that their merlinite (dendritic opal) was called mt shasta opal!!!!!

i dont want mt shasta opal! i want dendritic opal (merlinite)!

Neville, just to make sure that im thinking correctly, dendritic opal IS the same as merlinite i presume?

because merlinite is what i need.

there is so much confusion with the names!

mystic merlinite, dendritic opal, merlinite...... LOL

i'm having trouble finding a merlinite! =(

As far as I understand (and I am not alone in this understanding) Merlinite is a dendritic opal.
