Dendritic soapstone is found in Southwest Montana, U.S.A., near a town called Cameron. The blue-green mossy patterns running through the stone are called dendrites, which were caused during the formation of the stone by manganese seeping into it. The dendrites do not run all the way through the stone, and may appear and disappear during the carving process.
