Maple Leaf, Monteagle Township, Hastings Co., Ontario, Canada

late 1970s

Large dark green almost black crystals of Actinolite in off white colored Calcite. Please note: this may actually be Termolite. Actinolite and Tremolite form a series in the Amphibole group. Mindat lists both the Amphibole Group and Tremolite for this location. The crystals have good luster, but none of them appear to be terminated.
