Chrysotile is a form of asbestos accounting for about 95 percent found in the United States. It is a soft, fibrous silicate material. Chrysotile and other forms of asbestos are considered to be hazardous.
Chrysotile asbestos (White) is a Serpentine, Amosite (Grunerite) (Brown asbestos, and Crocidolite (Blue) are Amphiboles
Chrysotile asbestos was commonly used in the past for insulation, roofing materials, brake linings, and various other construction materials due to its heat resistance and durability. However, it is now known to be a carcinogen and its use has been significantly reduced to minimize health risks.
Chrysotile Peritoneal Mesothelioma is a disease, caused by the exposure to asbestos. This disease was created by humans and is not natural. The only cure is to avoid asbestos.

A chatoyant gemstone containing asbestos is known as chrysotile or serpentine. Asbestos is a common name for a group of fibrous minerals, and chrysotile is one of the minerals that make up asbestos. This gemstone is prized for its chatoyancy, which is a unique optical property that creates a shimmering effect known as "cat's eye" when cut and polished. However, due to its asbestos content, it is important to handle and store these gemstones with caution to avoid inhaling the harmful fibers.
Serpentinite can contain the mineral Chrysotile, also known as white asbestos. Asbestos is carcinogenic (cancer causing) and can also if inhaled cause serious lung problems and is best avoided!

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.
not really sure what is meant by this but the formulation of Chrysotile (White Asbestos) is: Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4, Hope that helps
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.
