1.6" Green Actinolite Crystal Cluster - Norway
This is a cluster of green actinolite crystals, collected from Selasvatn, Norway. It measures 1.6" wide and comes with an acrylic display case.
Actinolite is a fibrous mineral with the chemical formula Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2. Chemically, it is very similar to tremolite, though it has more iron than magnesium.
Both actinolite and tremolite contain a form of asbestos, a kind of mineral habit made up of tiny elastic fibers. This habit can be hazardous and should not be brought near the mouth, to avoid inhalation of the fibers. It is also suggested that you wash your hands following handling.
