piece depends on the nature of the stones themselves as well as the enclosure
in which they are embedded. For instance, Drusy quartz is relatively durable,
but calcite Drusy is very fragile. The
size and evenness of the stone's coverage are very vital determinants of quality in Drusy gems. In
addition to the usual 4 C's (Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat Weight) of gem
quality, but there is a 5th C (Coverage)". Great quality Drusy gems are relatively rare, particularly in non-quartz species.
