What does DRUSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A druse is a small hollow inside a rock whose inner surface is covered with a layer of tiny, sparkling crystal points, commonly seen when a geode is broken open.
Geologists use druse for the crystal-covered surface that forms when mineral-rich water slowly deposits crystal after crystal on the inner wall of a rock hollow, leaving an uneven, glittering crust rather than a smooth one. A geode often reveals a druse once it is sawn open and the hollow centre is exposed to view. Collectors and mineralogists prize a well-formed druse for the way light catches its many small crystal faces.
How DRUSE is used
Technical; used mainly in geology and mineral collecting rather than everyday speech.
