| 520 | _a"Geological Report on Asbestos and its Indications, in the Province of Quebec, Canada" by Lucius J. Boyd is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the geological formations associated with asbestos in Quebec, particularly focusing on the distribution and properties of asbestos-bearing serpentine rocks. It aims to convey critical insights into the formation, extraction, and commercial potential of asbestos, highlighting its significance as a mineral resource. In this report, Boyd meticulously documents his geological investigations in various Quebec townships, addressing the challenges he encountered due to dense vegetation and weather conditions. He explains the properties of serpentine, the metamorphic processes it underwent to form asbestos, and the economic implications of mining the mineral. Describing the mining practices, quality variations, and market dynamics for asbestos, Boyd presents valuable guidelines for prospectors and miners in identifying rich deposits. His findings suggest a thriving future for the asbestos industry in Quebec, supported by evidence of considerable reserves and efficiencies that can be gained through advanced mining techniques.
