An amosite is a form of asbestos, once used in insulation.
Some synonyms of the word "Amosite" is asbestos. Amosite is a heat iron that was used as a heat resistant material due to its composition. One can find more information on the compound from Wikipedia.
The three main kinds of asbestos that have been used commercially are Amosite, Crocidolite, and Anthophilite.
Asbestos is a naturally ocurring mineral. Other names are chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite and anthrophyllite.
Asbestos is composed of non biodegradable minerals including chrysotile, crocidolite, and amosite. So, Asbestos is non-biodegradable and it is toxic.
Chrysotile asbestos (White) is a Serpentine, Amosite (Grunerite) (Brown asbestos, and Crocidolite (Blue) are Amphiboles
Amosite asbestos is a member of a large group of amphibole minerals. these contain infinite double chain ions where Si and O are covalently bonded (polar bonds), (Si4O11)n6n- . The "counter ions" in this case Fe3+ and usually some Mg2+ are arranged along the chains. A good description is ionic with infinite polyatomic anions.
Chrysotile and amosite are two kinds of asbestos, the name crystalite sounds a bit like these two but it is actually a plastic (polymethyl methacrylate) and is not a form of asbestos.

Chrysotile - White Asbestos = Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4 Amosite (Grunerite) - Brown asbestos = Fe7Si8O22(OH)2. Crocidolite - Blue asbestos = Na2(Fe,Mg)5Si8O22(OH)2. These are the 3 common types
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, it is formed from: White asbestos (Chrysotile) Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4, Brown Asbestos (Amosite/Grunerite), Fe7Si8O22(OH)2 Blue Asbestos (Crocidolite), Na2(Fe,Mg)5Si8O22(OH)2
