About
WORLD'S FIRST! First coin in the world enhanced with a drusy stone! Order yours today!
The sparkle of drusy stone conjures many delightful images: fresh powder snow, sweet sugar, and stardust. It is anatural crystal that forms on mineral surfaces, most commonly on quartz and agate. Usually found inside geodes or in larger mineral deposits, it has become a highly coveted semi-precious stone popular among jewellers. Its appeal lies primarily in its stunning sugar-like surface—the result of thousands of tiny faceted crystals on the surface of the stone. But quartz colours like the soft tone of the stone on this coin are rare and highly valued by jewellers and collectors.
