Chrysotile asbestos, or "white asbestos," belongs to a group of natural minerals commercially known as "asbestos."
It is part of the serpentine group and structurally classified as a layered silicate. Chrysotile asbestos has the chemical formula 3MgO•2SiO₂•2H₂O, representing a magnesium hydrosilicate naturally found in the form of crystals composed of hollow fibril tubes with a diameter of 2.6•10⁻⁵ mm and a length of up to 2–3 cm.
The mineral can split into extremely fine chrysotile fibers, with a thickness of up to 0.5 μm.

Experts distinguish two major groups of asbestos – amphibole and chrysotile. Numerous authoritative studies show that the amphibole group of asbestos poses the greatest risk to human health.
