https://www.unlv.edu/sciences/research/natural-asbestoshttps://www.earthmagazine.org/article/asbestos-found-nevada-and-arizona-roadblock-and-potential-health-hazard/>In a November 2013 article in the journal of the Soil Science Society of America, Buck, Metcalf and colleagues reported their discovery in southern Nevada of actinolite, one of the regulated asbestos minerals.>The researchers first found the fibrous blue and green amphibole mineral lining fractures in Miocene granitoid plutons in an area of the McCullough Range south of Las Vegas.this is certainly what i'm trying to remember. i feel like i recall it being named something else though. but im sure im splitting hairs on memories from like fifteen or twenty years ago. geology field trip with metcalf out to boulder city, went to a few outcrops, picked up a couple light blue specimens. i actually tried finding it yesterday. it might be in my one singular box of mish-mashed rocks i like but have no clue where i got them. oh well, its not rare.
