Close up of crystal textures

Druzy refers to a layer of tiny, sparkling crystals that form on the surface of a rock or mineral. These crystals can appear as a glittery, sugar-like coating and are often found inside geodes or on the surface of other gemstones.

Our day started out with beautiful blue skies and lovely puffy clouds that showed off this sparkling drusy Agate Slice. It is now 48 degrees and the much needed rain 🌧 has come in. We are so grateful for the rain as it was badly needed. I am glad I was able to capture this before the clouds came though! - Bruce is busy shipping all the Live Sale & Crystal Club orders this week. 🎈 - Note: this piece sold on our Crystal Club. - - - #agate #drusy #agatestone #agateslice #sun #sunshine #sunshine🌞 #chalcedony #crystalglow #blueskies #crystals #crystalart #glowing #crystalmagic #agategeode #lovecrystals #crystalcommunity #humpday #coloradoskies #shareyourheart #handsofspirit (at Hands of Spirit Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUbMXKmA459/?utm_medium=tumblr

Crystal, snugly wrapped in its sleeping bag I've never seen a piece quite like this one mined in Namibia and measuring 6 x 3.5 x 3 cm. After the iron hued amethyst finished growing, a later generation of fine white quartz drusy crystals grew over it, wrapping it in a snug duvet. Since I'm about to fly from midwinter to midsummer, and feeling the current Patagonian cold, I feel kind of envious of this pretty little quartz. Loz Image credit: Rob Lavinsky/iRocks.com
