Druzy Quartz stone is a gemstone
covered by a thin layer of quartz crystals. Some of them are coated
with titanium, which gives them beautiful colors, from emerald green
to magenta to violet blue. These stones are not suitable for rings
but great for earrings & pendants. These items are cut and
polished to perfection.
Another Stunning Titanium Quartz Druzy center stone, this one
features a heart shapped druzy quartz that has been titanium coated
in a special process that creates a rainbow of color generating from
the stone's surface. This beautiful pendant also features an oval
iolite gem above the center stone, and a pear shaped faceted
tanzanite gemstone above the iolite.
The sparkle of Druzy Quartz creates a compelling backdrop for this
interesting formation of Dolomite and Sphalerite from the Elmwood
Mine in Tennessee. Two "scoops" of Dolomite (calcium
magnesium carbonate) form the centerpiece, and a sprinkle of
rusty-brown, metallic Sphalerite (zinc iron sulfide) crystals pepper
the sides (including the back, shown in insert). Difficult to
identify because of its wide variation in luster, color and habit,
Sphalerite is Greek for "treacherous rock" -- named so by
miners, who had trouble distinguishing it from the more valuable
minerals they were seeking.
This specimen measures approximately 6½" by 5" by 4½",
and has a flat base for easy display. It would make quite an
interesting conversation piece when used in decorating or Feng Shui,
or a great gift for your favorite mineral collector! Scroll down to
