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.)

Mmmm okay let's be honest, #chrysotile has a loooong and storied history ("if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation"), but I've gotta give it to #pectolite!
Because a) look at those cool formations it makes, and b) *larimar*! Larimar is pectolite that gets its color from copper, and as far as anyone has ever found, is *only* found in the Dominican Republic. Limited source! High cost! 100% gorgeous! (There's a reason I only have small pieces lol.)
