It is likely that the mineral formed from molten lava on the Earth's surface. This is because it would have cooled very rapidly, so forming the small crystals.

What is dresserite used for?
Dresserite is a micro-mineral that does not contain any particularly valuable element. It is used only as a mineral specimen for hobbyists. It is not colorful; neither are the crystals large. Many mineral collectors would not give it a second (or even a first) glance. Micromounters (who view small pieces through microscopes) are among the very few who appreciate these tiny crystals.
