Dendritic opal has been associated with magic and power. It's believed that dendritic opal, in the field of Wicca, enhances the energy of spells. Historically, Royals would see these stones as a status symbol, believing it would help them maintain their power status as a noble.

"In modern spiritual circles, dendritic opals’ dark patterns, contrasting against their white surfaces, symbolize the balance of opposites — similar to yin and yang. Additionally, the patterns’ resemblance to nature represents one’s connection to Earth, boosting intuition and self-awareness." ref: https://www.opalauctions.com/learn/a-z-of-opals/dendritic-opal
