    kbarnett, there is a type of black druze that is natural. It is
    actually clear quartz druze over psilomalene (a tungsten oxide,
    I think?) it can be any shade from coal black to light grey,
    depending on the thickness of the quartz deposit. that dk. grey
    druze with the rainbow iridescence is coated with titanium to
    give it that look - kinda interesting, if you can get it cheap,
    but still a fake stone. Druze comes in so many really great
    colors, why bother?  (my cat,"Druze" is named after a piece of
    stone the same exact color of calico she is.) if you would like
    to aquire stone contact me at  sunspirit AT uswestmail.net     
    later, mark
