This attractive quartz crystal features dense actinolite inclusions that give the specimen a deep green appearance, especially noticeable when viewed with backlighting. The crystal has a pleasing elongated form with a sharp termination, while subtle etched growth near the top adds extra texture and character. The contrast between the transparent to translucent quartz and the dark green internal inclusions creates a distinctive visual effect. Actinolite inclusions in quartz can produce striking internal patterns and color, making well-formed examples especially appealing for display and study.
