Chrysotile specimen (Serpentine; asbestos-form)3D ModelNoAI
Locality: Vermio Mountains, Greece
No.: 5943
Size: 11 x 9 x 5 cm
Formula: Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4
Description: There are three principal forms of Serpentine minerals: Lizardite, Antigorite, and Chrysotile, all with the approximate composition Mg3Si2O5(OH)4. The most abundant is Lizardite and the least is Chrysotile, but the latter is perhaps the best known as it commonly occurs in veins of silky fibers and has been the most important source of commercial asbestos.
Its mechanical strength combined with thermal stability and low thermal conductivity made asbestos and asbestos composites useful in a wide range of important products. However, it is now known that inhalation of asbestos dust is a serious health hazard (it may cause asbestosis or pleural mesothelioma).
