Matte Natural Druzy Agate Round Gemstone Beads, 6mm #21-886-716

The stunning visual appeal of druzy beads and pendants make them a great option for jewelry focals. Sometimes spelled druse or drusy, druzy is a layer of fine crystals that forms on the surface of rock fractures (most commonly quartz) over millions of years. While usually composed of clear crystal, druzy can also be composed of amethyst, citrine, or other naturally colored crystals. Druzy may also be enhanced to change its color, including by electroplating or vacuum coating (processes that bond a thin layer of metal to the surface of the crystal).
Drusy is delicate, and is best suited for applications like pendants, earrings and pins that will not receive a lot of wear. When used in bracelets, remind your customers to treat the bracelet with care. To clean, use warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Drusy quartz rates 7 on Moh's Scale of Hardness; to avoid scratching your other jewelry, gently wrap druzy in fabric when storing it.
