# Dendrite

Dendrite is a specialty stone with beige brown tones and fernlike markings.

Mid Valley Rock carries it in Sacramento; call (916) 363-4239 to ask what pieces are in the yard.

Photo coming soon. See it in the yard.

Dendrite is a stone people stop and look at. The base is a beige brown, and across the surface run fernlike markings that look like pressed leaves or tiny branches. Those patterns make every piece one of a kind. It is carried as a specialty stone, which is the part of the yard for pieces chosen for their character. Come pick the faces you like best, since the markings differ from one piece to the next.

## Fernlike markings on beige brown stone

The pattern is the draw. The fernlike markings stand out against the beige brown tones, so the stone works like natural artwork.

Because the markings vary, it is worth sorting through pieces in person. Staff can help you find the ones with the strongest pattern.

## Ways to show it off

Place Dendrite where people will see it up close: beside a front walk, at a patio edge or as an accent among plainer stone. A neutral stone around it lets the markings carry the show.

Tell staff what you have in mind. They like hearing about the setting, and they can suggest how the stone will suit it. You can also read [mixing stone types](https://midvalleyrock.com/rock-talk/mixing-stone-types/) for ideas.
