oremin: Actinolite commonly occurs as white to very pale-green flexible fibers in areas 1 and 3 as well as in many of the other smaller veins. In area 1, fibrous crystals to 1 cm cover areas up to 60 x 30 cm and occur with albite to form attractive plates. Actinolite has also been found in one vein south of area 3 as flexible, long-fibered (up to 15 cm) parallel aggregates."" (Pohl and others, 1982, p. 297)
