Drusy, druse, druzy, drusies - different spellings, but they all mean tiny quartz crystals that form within or on the surface of other stones. When ground water carrying dissolved silica is forced into a porous area of the rock, rapid cooling often occurs, causing the formation of tiny crystals on the surfaces or in cavities of the rock.
The clear crystals often form on top of previously deposited minerals.  This is called a Drusy.  Drusy crystals help to promote inner strength.

**.925 sterling silver is a blending mix obtained from 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Pure silver cannot be used in making jewelry as it is extremely malleable and it can suffer damage easily. It also tends to get very soft, even in conditions of normal temperature.
That is why .925 silver is used and not the pure form of the precious metal. You may think that by adding other metals to pure silver, the quality becomes lower. But this is not the case with .925 silver. This alloy enhances the jewelry properties and copper is only a very small part in the combination.
