Intermediate members of the series that contain both Mg and Fe, may be identified as iron-rich cummingtonite, for example. Alternatively, a fibrous species whose composition and structure resembles grunerite occurs in South Africa. It is mined as asbestos and known commercially as amosite. Amosite is a varietal mineral name that has been used in the trade to describe mineral materials within the cummingtonite-grunerite series. The name is an acronym for asbestos mines of South Africa. Because it is not a proper mineral name, it may not be found in lists of minerals in standard miner-alogical texts. [Pg.25]

Over the past several decades six different silicate minerals have been mined as asbestos and processed for industrial and commercial applications. The most commonly encountered asbestos mineral today is chrysotile. The five other minerals are tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite, grunerite, and rie-beckite. All five are members of the amphibole group of minerals, and each can occur as chunky, acicular, or equant crystals, as well as in fibrous form. When found as fine fibrous aggregates, in quantities appropriate for mining, they are usually distinguished as a special variety—for example, tremolite-asbestos. [Pg.45]

Amosite A commercial term for a type of amphibole-asbestos from South Africa consisting chiefly of fibrous members of the cummingtonite-grunerite series. Variable amounts of several fibrous members of the amphibole group and other minerals may be included in a particular sample. The name is an acronym derived from asbestos mines of 5outh Africa. [Pg.191]

Twin boundaries involving a relative displacement have also been observed by Hutchison, Irusteta, and Whittaker (1975) in HRTEM images of amosite, a fibrous form of grunerite amphibole whose composition is approximately Fe6MgSis02 2(0H)2. The (200) and (001) lattice fringes show that the twin boundaries on (100) involve a displacement R = [001]. [Pg.221]
