A white variety of amphibole, or hornblende, occurring in long, bladelike crystals, and coarsely fibrous masses.
A basic calcium, magnesium, iron silicate, one of six naturally occurring fibrous minerals forming the group called asbestos. Occurs as translucent bright- to gray-green tough interlocking fibers which are flexible and elastic. Tremolite has not been used commercially, although it is sometimes a contaminant in asbestos-containing products.
a white or pale green mineral (calcium magnesium silicate) of the amphibole group used as a form of asbestos
Once of the six varying forms of asbestos. Characterized by a translucent bright- to gray-green tough interlocking fibers which are flexible and elastic.
a type of asbestos which has flexible fibers.
A white or pale green mineral of the amphibole group composed of calcium magnesium silicate and used as a form of asbestos. The compact variety of tremolite, called nephrite, is a form of jade.
a white or gray mineral, a variety of amphibole, consisting chiefly of a silicate of calcium and magnesium, occurring in fibrous masses or thin-bladed crystals. [AHDOS
Tremolite is a member of the amphibole group of silicate minerals with composition: Ca2Mg5Si8O22(OH)2. Tremolite forms by metamorphism of sediments rich in dolomite and quartz. Tremolite forms a series with actinolite and ferro-actinolite.
