If you see someone selling off a mineral under the trade name Chrysotile,Crocidolite, Tremolite, Actinolite, Anthophyllite, Amosite or quartz with asbestos inclusion please don’t risk your health by buying it. It doesn’t matter what the company may claim, all forms of asbestos are equally harmful and can cause lung cancer.
Lately I have seen asbestos under this trade name, tigerseye crocidolite is an exception to this as the fibers have been replaced by iron oxides. Tremolite in its fibrous form is literally asbestos so please be aware when buying.
One of my dear friends just died of mesothelioma, which is the type of cancer associated with asbestos. Now cancer is never nice, but mesothelioma is a cancer that’s pretty much a guaranteed death sentence. So asbestos exposure is honestly even higher risk than smoking—by orders of magnitude.
Don’t fuck around with asbestos.
P.S. my friend didn’t even know if or when she was exposed to it. Still died.
