Chrome Chalcedony, a captivating variety of chalcedony, is prized for its vibrant, verdant hues, owed to trace amounts of chromium. This gem, often referred to as Mtorolite or Mtorodite, presents a striking resemblance to chrysoprase, though its coloration stems from chromium rather than nickel. A cryptocrystalline form of quartz, Chrome Chalcedony exhibits a smooth, waxy luster and typically occurs in translucent to opaque forms. Historically, it saw use in Roman-era jewelry, and more recent discoveries have been made in locations such as Zimbabwe, and other various locations around the globe. Its appealing green color and relative durability make it a sought-after stone for collectors and jewelry enthusiasts alike.
