	Actinolite
		Actinolite is an intermediate member in a series between tremolite[?] (Mg-rich) and ferro-actinolite[?] (Fe-rich).
		Actinolite is commonly found in metamorphic rocks, such as contact aureoles[?] surrounding cooled intrusive igneous rocks.
		Another form of actinolite, known as nephrite, is one of the two common constituents of jade (the other being jadeite[?]).

		Actinolite is a common member of the amphibole family.
		The rocks are usually relatively fine-grained, consisting of a mixture of actinolite, magnetite, quartz specular hematite, chlorite, almandine, and graphite.
		Actinolite occurs as "sprays of fine acicular crystals in pockets in quartz-epidote-pyrite rich veins" at the Tork and Haessley Quarries, Wisconsin Rapids.

		Actinolite is a hydrous Calcium-Magnesium-Iron silicate that is not one mineral, but a mineral series.
		What we know, as Actinolite is center of the series: at the ends are Tremolite, with a high proportion of Magnesium, and today's subject, Ferro-Actinolite, with a high proportion of Iron.
		From the better known relatie Actinolite, Ferro-Actinolite gers the ablilty to both equalize the workings of the physical body, and to bring the needs of the physical and emotional bodies into harmonic balance.
