Memento posted:This is where I would say "you understand that there are plenty of serpentinite rocks that aren't asbestos" but you clearly don't. That's antogorite, which expresses as massive to platy monoclinic crystals, and associates commonly with the chrome-magnesium rich environment where stichtite forms. I found an interesting paper which mentions that after discovering abnormal amounts of fibres while building a tunnel thorugh serpentite, they did some research and found: 'Gentle crushing of antigoritic serpentinite samples proved their strong tendency for forming asbestiform silicate fibres when disintegrated.' so.. yeah... Be a bit careful maybe? Possibly give it a coat of epoxy varnish just to be sure?
