Druzy is a type of quartz that is highly crystallized on the inside. It is found deep inside mines, brought to the surface, and when the pieces are polished often some part breaks open and shows the crystallized inside. Similar to geodes but much more crystallized. You will never find two the same. Never. The color varies by which impurities, also called "deposits", are in the quartz itself and the deposits impart the color to them. The formation of the tiny crystals occurs after molten rock begins to quickly cool, trapping gasses within it as it solidifies. The trapped gasses cause crevices and cavities in the cooling rock. Nutrient-rich groundwater later flows through these gaps and crevices, depositing layer after layer of minerals which crystallize on top of each other. The resulting encrustation is called druzy . This process doesn't take days or weeks, but a few thousand years. Colored druzy gemstones were made in nature by the depositing of different minerals, which give them their unique colors of blue, pink, lemon yellow, turquoise or blue. Druzy gets it glitzy looks thanks to a process known as vapor-coating or vapor-deposition. Vapor-coating begins in a vacuum chamber. The high-karat gold (or platinum, titanium or silver) is converted to a vapor and then mixed with oxygen. The gold-oxygen vapor settles on the crystals of the druzy and bonds with them at the molecular level. It is advised to never put Druzy near hair spray, perfume, or deodorant as these can damage the vapor coating and therefore destroy the beauty. Druzy pendants are in limited supply as the basic materials sporadically come onto the market, thus we got them when we could. Style number varies with color so use the menu to see which is which. They are all one price, $159, and are sold final sale.mounted in Sterling Silver.
