There is a new popular natural stone that is making an appearance in the world of handmade jewellery and this is quartz that we know today as Drusey.

One of the places you will find a collection of these crystals is in the centre of a geode or a large mineral deposit and when you see these lovely crystals you can see why jewellery designers love to place them in their pieces of handmade jewellery
These natural stones have been created over centuries by water carrying dissolved silica and force it through porous rocks and with this a rapid cooling process occurs. This is when the tiny Druse crystals are formed either on the surface of the rock or in the centre. These beautiful crystals can be formed from the same minerals as the rock or they could be formed from a different material forming clear crystals. Chryscolla Jasper, Azurite and Malachite are just three examples of this form of crystal and you will see these lovely stones used as the focal point for many pieces of original handmade jewellery.
