Hi James,
I recently came across tremolite in a sample I had tested of madeground from a former railway embankment. Tremolite is member of the amphibole asbestos fibre group and is found as a contaminant with other asbestos fibres such as chrysotile and as a contaminant in industrial talc.
Kind regards,
Dan
