General Description

Antigorite is a green to white mineral belonging to the serpentine group, with the chemical formula Mg3H2(SiO4)2.H2O. It is the most common serpentine mineral and is found in metamorphosed serpentinite rocks. Antigorite is composed of magnesium, silicon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, and it forms fibrous or platy crystals with a layered structure. It is valued for its use as a source of asbestos and as a decorative stone in jewelry and sculpture. Antigorite is also studied for its potential applications in environmental remediation and as a precursor for the synthesis of other materials.
