This one is downright bizarre! Mineral inclusions with chlorastrolite are always interesting, but it\'s rare that they add so much beauty to the stone. The pastel color of this mineral contrasts wonderfully with the green of the Greenstone and it took an absolutely dynamite finish. I love how you can see the perfectly circular growth of the very bright green orbicular chlorastrolite, outlined in a perfectly black line. I\'ve never found one like this before and I doubt I\'ll ever see another.Collected and cut/polished by me, after I donated copious amounts of blood to the Keweenaw peninsula\'s biting fly population. Seriously the bugs up there are something else! Chlorastrolite aka \"Isle Royal Greenstone\" is the official gemstone of the state of Michigan--the only place on earth where this variety of the mineral is found. As it is illegal to collect from Isle Royale, where it is most abundant, gem-quality specimens are becoming more and more rare to find.
