This past week I worked with druzy gemstones. Druzy (druse, drusie) is the glittering effect of tiny crystals ontop a colorful mineral that have awesome sparkle. The druzy gemstones grow slowly over millions of years and are found as the very last layer of growth on agate or another colorful base. Drury is not always quartz, but is any kind of mineral found in a plate-like form, such as malachite, dolomite, garnets and calcite. Some common colors are orange, white, red and brown. They might look somewhat delicate but druzy gemstones are a hardy gem.

The druzy gemstone………
Supplies strength and energy
Encourages clarity of mind
Druzy is used for balancing all chakras

The above ring was a customer order. The picture of this druzy does not to it justice. I was almost sad to part with this ring.

*Shoot for the stars* is also a quartz druzy gemstone in it’s natural state. A friend told me that she thought it looked like shaved ice….lol. It certainly does. This beauty is off to a new home.

I wasn’t sure when I ordered this stone how I would feel about it. Turns out that it looks fantastic in it’s setting. It’s bright and it’s bold and it makes you smile. The words on the band of this are *I choose happy.* Perfect words for this ring.

There are so many incredible stones to work with. I love giving them new life and meaning to their owner. Don’t overlook druzy gemstones. Put some sparkle back into your life!!!

My work can be found here and at Echo of the Dreamer gallery.
