44323: Actinolite (analyzed) - $30 Zhob District, Balochistan, Pakistan Small cabinet - 7.2 x 6.4 x 4.7 cm 298 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order Oddly knobby greenish material, a
fairly new find, originally labeled as grossular. However
analysis by Professor George Rossman of Caltech reveals
this is a mixture of amphiboles, most closely resembling
actinolite. I have only seen a few examples of this
somewhat homely material. Some rather small points which
may have been matrix contact spots, but otherwise complete
all around and in fine condition.
