If you’re ready to think about decorations outside of twinkling christmas lights, we doooooo have a bevy out outstanding crystal and mineral specimens for you! This Chromium Green Chalcedony is such a beautiful shade of green, and came to us from Zimbabwe, where it is known as Mtorolite. Fun fact — Chrome Chalcedony and Chrysoprase are similar in shade, however Chrome Chalcedony’s green is from chromium, and Chrysoprase’s comes from nickel. Chrome Chalcedony was very popular in jewelry through the Roman Empire, but disappeared until it was rediscovered in Zimbabwe in the 1950s. #chromechalcedony #chromiumchalcedony #greenchalcedony #mtorolite #zimbabwe #gemstone #raregemstones #crystals #minerals #crystalhealing #decoratewithcrystals #decorate #beautiful #romanempire #greenstone #greencrystal #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ityjNB1pp/?igshid=1bvo9t2ffq0u1
