Mined from: King Citrine Mine, Mt. Breakenridge, Harrison Lake, British Columbia, Canada

Description: Actinolite quartz from the King Citrine Mine on Mt. Breakenridge is a distinctive combination specimen where clear to lightly tinted quartz hosts dark green to black needle-like inclusions of actinolite. These inclusions can appear as fine sprays, dense bundles, or radiating clusters suspended within the quartz, creating strong visual contrast and depth. Material from this locality is known for its sharp crystal definition and well-preserved internal structures, making it particularly appealing for collectors who appreciate inclusion-rich quartz.

The formation of this material is tied to hydrothermal activity associated with regional igneous processes. Silica-rich fluids moved through fractures in the host rock, crystallizing into quartz veins as they cooled. At the same time, amphibole minerals like actinolite formed under conditions influenced by temperature, pressure, and available calcium, magnesium, and iron. As quartz continued to grow, it encapsulated these actinolite crystals, preserving them in place. Mt. Breakenridge is a well-known mineral locality in British Columbia, producing a range of quartz varieties, including citrine and inclusion-bearing specimens like this.

Actinolite quartz is often associated with grounding, resilience, and clarity through complexity. The contrast between the clear quartz and dark inclusions gives it a layered, structured appearance that many interpret as a reminder of strength built through pressure and change. It’s commonly chosen by those drawn to stones that reflect both clarity and internal depth.
