druse
Druse is a geological term referring to a cavity or void in a rock or mineral that is lined with inward-projecting crystals. The cavity is often coated with fine crystals, commonly quartz, which form as the mineralizing solution travels into an open space or cavity. They can also form in plant cells where they are made up of calcium oxalate. These formations are often found in geodes and offer a visual display of crystalline structures when the rock is broken open.
Webster Dictionary

Druse
Druse are groups of crystals of calcium oxalate, silicates, or carbonates present in plants. Calcium oxalate crystals are found in algae, angiosperms and gymnosperms in a total of more than 215 families. These plants accumulate oxalate in the range of 3%-80% of their dry weight via a biomineralization process in a variety of shapes. Araceae have numerous druse, multi-crystal druse and needle shaped raphide crytals of CaOx present in the tissue. Druse are also found in leaves and bud scales of Prunus, Roses, Allium, Vitus, Morus and Phaseolus. The poisonous substances in druse are thought to be a defense against herbivory.
