What IS DRUZY ?

Druzy means tiny quartz crystals that form within or on the surface of other stones. When the flowing ground water carrying dissolved silica is forced into the porous area of the rocks, rapid cooling often occurs causing the formation of tiny crystal on the surfaces or in cavities of the rocks. The clear crystal often forms on top of the previously deposited minerals. This is how druzy is formed. Some minerals found in this form are Chrysocolla, Malachite, Hematite, Pyrite, Carnelian and Cobalto Calcite.

Is It Good To Combine Gold And Silver ?

Last month a question posted in forum. Question was “Is it good to combine gold and silver?“. I got many replies. I wanted to share some of them. Hope you would like it

1. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that what so ever, it is quite common practice actually.

2. It’s not too good combine Gold and silver, but yes gold and platinum is the best combine.

3. Yes you can combine gold and silver because gold and silver are not more durable individually but in combine way it provides more durability.

4. It’s okay to mix whatever you want with a gold. But many expensive pieces of jewelry combine white gold and yellow gold, it’s absolutely fine for you to wear gold and silver together.
