Actinolite - Dyno Turn, Cardiff Township, Highlands East Township, Haliburton County, Ontario, Canada

This specimen of actinolite comes from the well-known Dyno Road roadcut near Bancroft, Ontario, a region famous for its complex metamorphic geology and diverse mineral occurrences. The actinolite displays its characteristic dark green coloration and elongated crystal habit, typical of amphibole minerals formed under medium- to high-grade metamorphic conditions. Pieces from this roadcut are valued for their locality significance within Ontario’s classic mineral district.
