How accurate is the color? the first thing that comes to mind with asbestos and green stone is serpentine. |

It is a lovely slightly bluish-green. The Celestron has little LED lights which distort the color a little. The color is like a Colombian emerald. I thought of Vesuvianite, but the RI and SG are wrong. The Canadian stuff is from an asbestos mine and that would fit, but it really seems to be an SR stone. The color of mine is very similar to this, but deeper. https://www.mindat.org/photo-63410.html What kind of serpentine were you thinking it could be? Debbie |

Everything comes up glass. The inclusions look like typical devitrification features, so I was thinking glass before the other data backed it up. |

Stephen: Thank you! I think you're right; found this image once you said the magic words "glass devitrification" http://static.wixstatic.com/media/46200 ... 1.jpg_1024 This looks like what I'm seeing in this "stone". Debbie |
