collected by Ken Gliesman in the area known as the Westfield Marble Quarries The specimen is from the first old quarry on the trail heading west before hitting the water filled quarry. There is a broken old boom and base along with other mining remnants left at this quarry. A pink calcite was lightly etched in acid to better expose the actinolite crystals.
