Asbestos is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals, which all have in common their eponymous asbestos habit; long, thin fibrous crystals, with each visible fiber composed of millions of microscopic fibrils that can be released by abrasion and other processes. They are commonly known by their colors, as blue asbestos, brown asbestos, white asbestos, and green asbestos.
