What is druzy agate or druzy chalcedony?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

Can anyone explain to me what druzy agate and druzy chalcedony is? I

have read that blue druzy chalcedony is avalonite. Is this correct? Is

pink druzy agate known by another name? What properties does it have?

 

Also, I have been borrowing crystal books from my local library but I

want to buy myself a book that has a wide range of crystals in it. What

book/s do people recommend as the best?

 

All the best,

Donna

Greetings,

" Druzy " refers to a bed of tightly-packed crystals of very fine crystalline

structure similar to sugar or salt crystals, also known as " Druzes " , " Drusies "

or " Druzi " quartz.

Here are some great pictures -

On crystal books, I love my set of fours books from author Melody -

Love Is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals

Love Is in the Earth - Mineralogical Pictorial : Treasures of the Earth

Love Is in the Earth : Kaleidoscopic Pictorial Supplement A

Love Is in the Earth : Kaleidoscopic Pictorial Supplement Z

 

But if you can only have one book this one is good -

The Crystal Bible: A Definitive Guide to Crystals

by Judy Hall

Hi Donna,

 

One that I use all the time is The Crystal Bible by Judith Hall. I've

turned several people onto it.
