druzy
Glittering mineral coating
Druzy describes a coating of tiny crystals that form on the surface of another stone, creating a glittering, sugar-like texture.
The term appears most often in jewelry contexts: a druzy quartz pendant, druzy agate earrings.
The effect occurs when mineral-rich water deposits crystals in rock cavities over time.
Also spelled drusy or druse.
