Here’s a Crystal that looks like raw meat (#Rhodochrosite) pic.twitter.com/3LNTcKXPHE

While the woman’s ‘chicken tender’ is particularly striking, crystals looking like food is actually quite common as proven by many commenting on the post. “Lots of crystals look surprisingly edible, but I can’t say I’ve ever seen such a convincing chicken tender before. Slices of rhodochrosite can look like like both ham and grapefruit, and dark pink rose quartz plays a good raw meat,” she told UNILAD.
And while some uncut gems can be very valuable and fetch high price, in this case it’s not that expensive. “It’s probably not worth more than $30. Of course, the clout might be worth more,” she added. However, taking to her Instagram after the new-found fame, the woman stated that the rock is currently not for sale.
