Actinolite with Dolomite Palm Stone - 2.5-2.75 inch

This Actinolite with Dolomite Palm Stone combines deep green Actinolite with pale, cream-grey Dolomite in a smooth, flattened oval form that fills the palm comfortably. The two minerals meet in soft, mottled zones across the surface, with darker green patches breaking against lighter carbonate veining for a naturally marbled look. The polished finish is cool and substantial to the touch, with the stone's weight lending a grounded, settled feel in the hand.

Actinolite with Dolomite is traditionally associated with emotional balance and steady release of negativity, believed to support a calm, grounded state during reflective practice. It is commonly kept as a desk piece, held during quiet moments, or placed within a restful display alongside other grounding stones. The gentle interplay of green and cream tones also makes it a soothing addition to any personal space.

Geological Information
This piece is a natural combination of Actinolite and Dolomite rather than a single mineral species. Actinolite is a calcium magnesium iron silicate of the amphibole group, coloured green to grey-green by its iron content, with a Mohs hardness of 5 to 6 and a monoclinic crystal structure; it commonly forms as blade-like crystals or fibrous masses and is also known as a primary component of Nephrite Jade. Dolomite is a calcium magnesium carbonate, softer at around Mohs 3.5 to 4, and lends its name to the Dolomite mountain range in Italy, having been first described by French geologist Déodat de Dolomieu in 1791. The two minerals occurring together give this stone its distinctive mottled appearance and its variable hardness across the surface. Fibrous forms of Actinolite are classified as asbestos, so only confirmed non-fibrous, massive material is carried in this material. This combination is not individually catalogued and is described here from the data for its two component minerals, typically sourced from regions including Canada, Russia, the USA, Austria, and China.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding. The Dolomite component is sensitive to acids and can be etched or damaged by contact with perfume, lotion, cleaning products, or acidic liquids. Apply these before putting the piece on.
