Workers are scheduled to install nearly 300 new crystals Tuesday on the Times Square New Year's Eve Ball.
The 288 crystal triangles will be placed in a new design titled "Let There Be Friendship." It is meant to represent friends holding hands around the globe.
Each triangle is about 5 inches long, 6.8 ounces and less than one-half an inch thick.
