Quite a bit of #Chrysotile was extracted from the Jeffrey Mine, Quebec. It is located on a line of oceanic lithosphere attached to North America during the growth of the Appalachians.
The town of Asbestos, home of the mine, has been renamed 'Val-des-Sources'.
Much of the expense of renovating buildings in Quebec is the cost of removing the asbestos insulation.

Those of you voting for chrysotile in the first round of the Mineral Cup 2025 may be interested in a fantasy novel in which asbestos - amiant, as it used to be known - plays a historic, symbolic, and legendary role: Amiant Soul.
(Those of you voting for pectolite are also welcome to take a look.)
