Item Description
This particular find has produced the best Actinolites, by a long stretch, that I have seen from Namibia. This single crystal has deep-green, beautifully-striated faces, superb luster, and the fibrous and silvery termination that has helped make these classics in their own right. This large crystal is 8.5 cm. An excellent and aesthetic Actinolite, unusual for such a normally boring rock-forming species.
