The word druse refers to an aggregate of small crystals, hence the name "crystal druse". In this case, we are talking about an aggregate of quartz crystals. Quartz has been known and appreciated since prehistoric times, because it is easily available and suitable for use as a tool due to its hardness. The oldest name, reported in Greek by Theophrastus in the 4th century BC, is “krýstallos”, which means ice. For Pliny the Elder, a Latin author of the 1st century AD, “crystallus” is “ice frozen beyond all limits”. Quartz is one of the most common minerals in the Earth's crust and is a significant component of many types of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. When pure, quartz forms colourless, transparent and very hard crystals, with a glass-like luster. This natural form of silicon dioxide is found in an impressive range of varieties and colours. It is widely used in industry and as an ornamental stone.
