Asbestos, a group of naturally occurring minerals, has been historically valued for its heat resistance and durability. The main types include chrysotile (white asbestos), amosite (brown asbestos), and crocidolite (blue asbestos). Found in various geological formations, asbestos was widely used in the construction, automotive, and manufacturing industries for insulation, fireproofing, and reinforcement. Despite its versatility, the mineral's use has become less common due to regulations and safer alternatives. #geology #mining #minerals #asbestos #naturalresources #construction #industryinsights #exploration #geophysics #miningidustry #miningconsultancy #mineralexploration #mineralresources
