Did y'all know that there's such thing as transitional minerals and mineral fibers?
That's right. Trans rocks. 🪨 🤟
You could think of mineral designations as more buckets to put things into than rigid classifications. There are always examples that either blend the characteristics of the two or just fall in-between classifications.
For a real-world example with real significance check out talc and asbestos. These names are representations of buckets to put minerals into, but they all form together in the Earth in a continuous series. Not only do the talc and asbestos form right next to each other. You can eve find individual fibers that exhibit characteristics of both talc and anthophyllite asbestos.

Talc is a common ingredient in personal care products, not just baby powder but also cosmetics. Talc is a mined mineral and sadly often contains traces of asbestos - which causes cancer and lung disease. There is testing, but cosmetics companies have often used an insensitive method. Mesothelioma is a horrible price to pay for using makeup.

FDA: "#Asbestos is also a naturally occurring silicate mineral, but with a different crystal structure. Both #talc and asbestos are naturally occurring minerals that may be found in close proximity in the earth. Unlike talc, however, asbestos is a known #carcinogen when inhaled. There is the potential for #contamination of talc with asbestos and therefore, it is important to select talc mining sites carefully and take steps to test the ore sufficiently."

Johnson & Johnson sues researchers who linked #talc to #cancer
Defendants say the lawsuits are meant to "silence" scientists
By Dietrich Knauth
July 13, 202312:50 PM EDTUpdated 2 days ago"J&J is facing more than 38,000 lawsuits alleging that the company's talc products, including its Baby Powder, were contaminated by asbestos and caused cancers including ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. J&J is attempting to resolve those lawsuits, as well as any future talc lawsuits, through an $8.9 billion settlement in bankruptcy court.
"J&J says that its talc products are safe and do not contain asbestos.
"J&J has stopped selling talc-based Baby Powder in favor of cornstarch-based products, citing an increase in lawsuits and 'misinformation' about the talc product's safety."

You may recall a previous post about #JohnsonandJohsnon trying to US #Bankruptcy law to limit their exposure to damages from the discovery that their #talc was #carcogenic?
That attempt failed but now J&J is back with a more narrowly focussed bankruptcy petition & agreement from a range of those bringing cases against J&J for damages.
Now, for a second time, we get to see whether using US #Chapter11 bankruptcy laws is seen in this case as a viable way fo dealing with #compensation for victims

The Texas Two-step legal manoeuvre fails: “A federal appeals court… rejected Johnson & Johnson‘s use of chapter 11 bankruptcy to freeze roughly 40,000 lawsuits linking its #talc products to #cancer, blunting a strategy the consumer health giant and a handful of other profitable companies have used to sidestep jury trials.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/j-js-talc-bankruptcy-case-thrown-out-by-appeals-court-11675096308

CW: BigPharma abuse?
Is #JohnsonAndJohnson seriously trying to use a #shellCompany to avoid paying #compensation to the families of #cancer victims, due to having #asbestos in #babyPowder?
A they really going to try a file for #bankruptcy here?
Honestly, this shouldn't even really be only a monetary compensation. If CEOs and executives turned a blind eye to this, then there needs to be an honest look at prison time for these cretins.
