Actinolite
Actinolite crystals are long, green or black stones. The Greek word "aktinos means "ray," and Actinolite crystals form somewhat like beams or rays. It is often found with Albite, chlorite and epidoite in greenstone.
The green variety, nephrite, is similar in properties to jade, though of a more mellow nature. The black variety is used to “wear away” qualities and circumstances which are unwanted. Actinolite is excellent for shielding and combined with obsidian, it provides an accentuated connection to creation.
