Druzy
Quartz (also spelt as Drusy or Druse) is a thin layer of quartz
crystals covering the surface of a host stone. One good example of
Druzy is the crystals filled inside the cavity of a geode. It is well
known that amethyst or citrine get the source of their color from this
quartz crystal but usually Druzy Quartz takes the host stone's color
which is seen through it as in chrysocolla or uvarovite garnet.
The term "Druzy" refers to the tiny crystal which is formed
within of on another stone in a large number. When the ground water
that carries dissolved silica is forced to to get filled into a porous
area of rock, rapid cooling occurs and it causes the formation of
minute crystals. As in Druzy Chrysocolla, the rock is composed of
agatized chysocolla with crusts of small sparkling quartz crystals in
tiny cavities.
Druzy Quarts is said to aid in balancing and increasing energy. Since
ages it has been used to diagnose disease and is believed to enhance
natural extrasensory perception abilities.
