[Rockhounds] Mineral ID

[Tim Fisher]

What little prodding I had the nerve to do makes me think it's pretty rigid.
Little bits of the ends were broken off in the box.

Hi Tim,

Is this flexible?
It looks a lot like mountain leather...
But that can be a few minerals...
Palygorskite
Actinolite
Saponite
Sepiolite
Tremolite

Sepiolite being a possibility.

Cheers
Axel
