Titanium Druzy Quartz
Used since ancient times for a variety of purposes, beautiful quartz is a versatile crystalline gem coming in a multitude of colors. Titanium quartz with a dramatic crystal structure has been treated or coated with a thin layer of titanium in a vacuum chamber to produce a permanent metal coating in spectacular shades of dark blue or green or yellow colors with beautiful iridescent sheen.
Drusy, druse, druzy, druzzy, drusies - different spellings that mean tiny quartz crystals that form within or on the surface of other stones.  When ground water carrying dissolved silica is forced into a porous area of the rock, rapid cooling often occurs, causing the formation of tiny crystals on the surfaces or in cavities of the rock. The clear crystals often form on top of previously deposited minerals. This is called a drusy.
