ALTHOUGH QUARTZ IS PLENTIFUL, DRUZY QUARTZ IS A LITTLE MORE HARD TO FIND.  AND JEWELRY SUITABLE DRUZY FORMATIONS ARE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND.  ONE CANNOT JUST SIMPLY BREAK DOWN A LARGER FORMATION UNTIL ITS SMALL ENOUGH FOR JEWELRY WEAR.  THE DRUZY MORE OFTEN WILL JUST SHATTER.  ADDITIONALLY,  THE DRUSE MUST HAVE FORMED SOMEWHAT FLAT ON ONE SIDE SO THAT IT CAN BE WORN AGAINST THE BODY.  IF THERE IS A LOT OF CRYSTAL PRISM GROWTH FROM BOTH SIDES OR ALL SIDES, THEN IT IS USUALLY NOT POSSIBLE TO CUT ONESIDE FLAT, AS THIS USUALLY LEADS ONCE AGAIN TO SHATTERING.

DRUZY FORMATIONS ARE MANY MANY DOUBLE TERMINATTED POINTS WITH SIX SIDED ENDS. DRUSE/DRUZY/DRUSY OCCURES IN PRACTIALLY ALL MINERALS THAT NUCLEATE.  HOWEVER MACHINE QUARTZ MINING IS INCREASING TO A POINT WHERE MUCH OF THE BETTER FORMATIONS ARE JUST BEING DESTROYED FOR QUARTZ NEEDED IN THE MIXING WITH OTHER AGGREGATES FOR PAYVING OF ROADS AND OTHER LARGE SCALE ENTERPRISES.  IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEEK PERMISSION TO LOOK FOR THE DRUZY FORMATIONS FROM MANY MINNING OPERATORS, OR YOU CAN SIMPLY LOOK FOR THE GROWTH IN MANY BEARING FIELDS THAT ARE NOT YET WORKED AS BASIC MINNING OPERATIONS.  ONE CAN SEEK THESE DELICATE FORMATIONS ON BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT PRESERVES AND NATIONAL PARKS
