I just found this about Drusy

Drusy Quartz is rated at 7 on the Moh's Scale of Hardness and is best suited for pendants, brooches, and earrings rather then rings and bracelets because of the concern of the Drusy being detached.

Drusy's are gemstones with a natural surface texture much like fine sugar crystals that formed on the Quartz by the phenomena of micro-crystalline facets millions of years ago. Drusy crystals went unnoticed in the jewelry world until recently, when they began appearing in the work of noted carvers and jewelry designers. The appeal is now starting to grow for Drusy Quartz jewelry as it displays a multitude of tiny crystals with a reflective surface reminiscent of sugar or snow.

The size and evenness of the crystal coverage are both important value factors when determining the quality and worth of Drusy Quartz items.

Common Cuts:
The shape/cut will depend on the variety of Quartz that the Drusy has formed on.

Routine Enhancements:
Drusy Quartz is often dyed to enhance its beauty and overall appearance. In addition to this, some varieties are coated with titanium which creates spectacular iridescent finishes.

Care & Cleaning:
Drusy Quartz can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft brush. As with most gemstones, Drusy Quartz should be kept away from household chemicals and from prolonged exposure to extremes of heat as this can cause damage or permanent changes to its appearance. Drusy Quartz should be kept in a fabric-lined box away from other jewelry items in order to avoid damage / scratching.
