There sometimes is a distinction noted between the two aggregates; in some guides the former aggregate (single entity) is known as skeletal, and the latter as dendritic (embedded in rock). Other guides, don't distinguish the two, and term them both as dendritic. A dendrite is a mineral with a dendritic shape.
