Crystal Guardian Angel - Topaz Chime

Among the statues, bowls, and ritual goods on 14th Street is this wind chime: Crystal Guardian Angel - Topaz Chime (shop SKU CGTZ).

A wind chime is hung outdoors or in a breezy window so the tubes or ornaments can move and sound. Hang it where it can move freely, away from a door that might strike it. Topaz is an aluminum silicate mineral that forms hard, glassy crystals, found in colorless, pale blue, golden, and brown shades.

It is a hard stone, rated 8 on the Mohs scale, though it can split along one direction if struck.
