The final in this Series, this stone contains the same green-hued mineral as Stone #11. It’s most likely epidote, in quartz. In Stone #11, the green is in patches; in Stone #30, there are some striking thin veins circling it, which caught my eye when I spotted the stone on Gemstone Beach.
Stone #30, Side A.
Stone #30, Side B.
The stone is more spherical, less flat, than most of the others in this Series. There is a tiny hole on Side A and a thin scratch on Side B – maybe incurred during the tumbling process. Generally, a quartz stone like this one will tumble-polish very well.
Go to Stone #1 in the Stone of the Day Series for November. Go to the Series Index.
You know I’m a sucker for those green and white ones! They always seem to catch my eye! This one is a beauty!
This green hue is a particularly attractive one, maybe because of the quartz it is in.
