Very nice. Did you use white chocolate or white cocoa butter?  My first attempt was not nearly so successful. In an experiment, a dark green (cocoa butter only) dendrite showed up fine against milk chocolate behind it, but in real production, the dendrite gets mostly lost. I think there has to be a background contrasting with the dendrite color (as in your case) for this to be successful, and I should have realized that. 

Yup -

I neglected to take pics of the ones that had even less contrast than these. Ah wait - here's some - just dark chocolate with extra cocoa butter - but black behind.
