It's the silica crystals that make horsetail fern (Equisetum hyemale) a scratchy tool.
Specifically, the plant forms silica crystals on the cell walls of its stems and branches. The crystals form in response to the drying of the plant's parts. It is the persistence of these crystals in the branches and stems that make the plant a scouring tool, in many places and throughout many time periods.
