Natural Green Quartz Crystal with Byssolite Inclusions from Huanggang Mine, Inner Mongolia, China

An elongated quartz crystal included with hair-like byssolite needles (fibrous actinolite asbestos). The byssolite inclusions are actually what make the crystal green. Green quartz from this find are often included with hedenbergite. When hedenbergite is present, the entire crystal will have a dark green color with lot of black dots scattered inside the crystal. This specimen does not contain any visible hedenbergite inclusions, and thus, it looks much clearer and does not need any backlighting.
