"Serpentinite is California's state rock....Serpentinite can contain chrysotile, the serpentine mineral that crystallizes in long, thin fibers. This is the mineral commonly known as asbestos."
...and finally, Minnesota's DNR page devotes roughly 1500 words to the rapture and glory of the Lake Superior Agate.
