The needles form fine, fibrous green sprays that shimmer when the stone moves under light. Actinolite in quartz is graded as included by definition, because the needles are the feature, and this gemstone is completely untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActinolite is an amphibole mineral that grows in fine needle-shaped crystals, and when those needles are enclosed within quartz during growth, the result is one of the rarer inclusion patterns in the quartz family. Faceted actinolite in quartz at this size is getting rarer to find on the open market, which makes this stone well suited to collectors, energy practitioners, and custom jewelry designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT THIS STONE IS USED FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the stone medicine space, actinolite is known for strengthening the auric field and supporting detoxification at the physical, emotional, and energetic levels. It clears stagnation from the energetic body while grounding the energy system into coherence, and the quartz host amplifies actinolite's properties while making its energetic signature more accessible. This pairing supports the realignment of scattered or frayed energies, and it's especially beneficial for anyone stabilizing their energy field after illness, trauma, or prolonged stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gemstone resonates with the heart and solar plexus chakras, offering a dual action of centering and empowerment. One advantage of a faceted gemstone over a rough crystal is the culet, the pointed tip at the base of the stone, which acts as a focused energy director, much like the tip of a Vogel Crystal. By pointing the culet directly at the body, you can concentrate and deliver the stone's vibrational frequencies into a specific point instead of letting them radiate outward in all directions. In fine jewelry, the 16 x 10.6mm cut-corner rectangle makes a bold center stone for a pendant or statement ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVIBRATIONAL PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreen Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e The actinolite needles give this gemstone its green frequency component, which the clear quartz amplifies and clarifies. The green frequency stimulates the pituitary gland, builds muscles and tissues, clears diseased cells, decongests the lungs, and eliminates germs and bacteria. It is the safest and most balanced clearing frequency in the vibrational spectrum, cleansing, detoxifying, and dissolving detrimental vibrations from the energy field. Salt carries a strong green vibration, which explains its long-standing use for purifying and preserving foods, spaces, and materials. Green marks the balance point of the visible light spectrum and the equilibrium of the manifested world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn vibrational radiesthesia, green is considered the core balancing frequency, supporting overall coherence in the biofield and restoring resonance after disruptions to your natural energy flow. Transmitted through quartz, this frequency becomes more perceptible and effective during healing work and meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMINERAL TYPE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz with actinolite inclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCUT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faceted cut-corner rectangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePHENOMENON:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear quartz with vivid green actinolite needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLARITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included (actinolite needles)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSPARENCY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent to semi-transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.41 ct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 x 10.6 x 8.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTREATMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHARDNESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz 7, actinolite 5.5-6 (Mohs scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREFRACTIVE INDEX (RI):\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz 1.544-1.553\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBIREFRINGENCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz 0.009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG):\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz 2.65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRYSTAL SYSTEM:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz trigonal; actinolite monoclinic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCHEMICAL COMPOSITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz SiO₂; actinolite Ca₂(Mg,Fe)₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ HAND-SELECTED AND VIBRATIONALLY TESTED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis actinolite in quartz has been personally sourced and tested by Ashley Sohl, Ph.D. candidate, GIA-trained gemologist, and originator of archetypal stonework.
