DRESSED UP DRUZY. Distinctive shimmering titanium drusy pendant explodes with motion and light, a resplendent stunner. The sublime sterling silver flower drop flaunts two electric aquamarine blue apatite gemstones in a conspicuously striking display. What's more, druzy is like nature's own pavé. Superb, matchless, omg gift.
ALLURING SPARKLE. This incomparable 20" torsade necklace features one strand of luscious neon Caribbean blue green apatite chip beads and one strand of bewitching luminous lavender jade beads. Both perfectly compliment the showy, amazing, and stunningly unique 1-3/4" titanium drusy.
DRUSY ME SOFTLY. A few gentle twists and the intertwined strands can adorn your neckline as a stylish one of a kind apatite delight torsade or necklace featuring an uncommon, undulating drusy. The sterling silver S-clasp is handcrafted. (Be a smart druzy buyer, see my note below about cheap drusy imitations.)
INTENSE COLOR. And BTW - in cultures around the world, jade is one of the birthstones for February, March, May, August and September. Apatite is one of the birthstones for December and associated with zodiac sign Gemini. (See my Policies page for a Birthstone and Gemstone Properties list.) This FavoriteBlings original necklace has a status glow that is a sublime standout. It's original, hand crafted, dazzling bling!

BE A SMART DRUZY BUYER. "Druzy" – or drusy druzes, druzi, druse, drusies – refers to the sparkling appearance of a layer of small crystals formed inside (or outside) a geode, agate, mineral like pyrite, or gemstone. When the crystals are like spilled salt or sugar, the marvelous encrustation is called druzy.
There are 2 types: "Natural" druzy with glittering beige, tan, golden citrine, purple or transparent layer of crystals formed on gemstones. Naturally occuring druzies include agate, carnelian, garnet, chalcedony, amethyst, chrysocolla, malachite, hematite, pyrite, jasper, onyx, rainbow pyrite, rainbow hematite, and uvarovite garnet.
The second type is the enhanced vapor-coated druzy. In the US, authentic druzies are coated by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process which gives them vibrant colors and sparkle, especially titanium druzies. These enhanced natural drusies are coated with pure durable metal deposits such as rose gold, platinum, titanium, silicone and other precious and non-precious metals or elements.
Good quality drusy stones and the process that coats them are expensive but crucial to creating beautiful, sparkling gemstones. But some manufacturers and uninformed sellers are selling cheap imitations, made by taking a jagged item (which may or may not be genuine drusy) and just coating it with colored paint.
Phony druzy is easy to spot. On the painted knockoffs, the paint tends to settle in the "grooves" of the drusy. That flattens the surface, so the fabulous crystalline druzy texture is diminished. Most important, imported, low priced painted “druzies” are enhanced with cheap coatings that rub and scratch off quickly. So be aware.
