Drusy

/ˈdruːzi/ adjective

Definition

Covered with or containing druses; having the appearance or character of a druse.

Etymology

From druse plus -y, a common English suffix that creates adjectives meaning 'having the quality of' or 'full of.' Creates a more accessible term than 'drusean.'

Kelly Says

A drusy quartz specimen catches light beautifully because thousands of tiny crystal faces inside are all angled slightly differently, creating a glittery, sparkly appearance unlike smooth crystals.
