What is the silicified variety of crocidolite called?
The silicified variety of crocidolite is called tiger's eye. Tiger's eye is a metamorphic rock with a distinctive golden to red-brown color and a chatoyant luster, caused by fibers of crocidolite becoming replaced by quartz during the process of silicification.
What are the components of asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that is composed of six types of fibrous minerals: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite. Chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite are the most commonly used types of asbestos.
What are the 3 most common asbestos?

How Are Tiger Eye Rocks Formed?
Tiger's eye is formed through a process known as pseudomorphism, where silica replaces crocidolite (blue asbestos) fibers in the rock. This replacement process happens over many years due to the alteration of mineral deposits. The distinctive golden-brown color and chatoyancy of tiger's eye are a result of the fibrous nature of the crocidolite being replaced by quartz.
What does tygers eye the rock looks like?
Tiger's Eye is a form of quartz, a pseudomorph of the mineral crocidolite.
Are all asbestos minerals equally harmful?
No, not all asbestos minerals are equally harmful. The most widely recognized and dangerous forms of asbestos are crocidolite, amosite, and chrysotile. Crocidolite and amosite are considered the most hazardous due to their needle-like structure, which can easily become embedded in lung tissue. Chrysotile, while less dangerous than the other two, can still pose health risks when fibers are inhaled over extended periods.
What has the author K O Bennington written?
