Description: This one-of-a-kind actinolite quartz gemstone is a 12.03 carat cushion cut, a square shape with softly rounded corners. Fine needle-like inclusions show through the crown and pavilion of the clear quartz. It was hand-cut by our cutters in Jaipur, India. Watch us dig at the King Citrine Mine on Mount Breakenridge on YouTube. You will receive the exact stone shown in the photographs.
The material comes from the King Citrine Mine on Mount Breakenridge near Harrison Lake in southwestern British Columbia, a locality that has produced quartz, including citrine, with actinolite and chlorite recorded alongside it. Actinolite is a calcium, magnesium and iron amphibole that commonly grows as thin, hair-like crystals, and in included quartz those crystals are enclosed as the quartz grows around them.
Inclusion quartz like this is cut mainly for what is inside it, so the inclusions take the place of colour as the feature of the stone. Quartz sits at 7 on the Mohs scale.
In crystal traditions, actinolite quartz is often associated with grounding, protection, and personal growth, and quartz is commonly regarded as an amplifying stone. These associations come from spiritual and folk traditions rather than scientifically established properties.
