amianto (serpentinite, metamorphic rock, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A serpentinite that may be white, yellow or gray but is rarely green or red. It is so flexible that the ancient Romans were said to have used it to make shrouds so that the ashes of the dead did not mix with those of the fuel. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Een wit, geel of grijs (en in zeldzame gevallen groen of rood) serpentijn. Het is zo flexibel dat de oude Romeinen er lijkwaden van zouden hebben gemaakt om de as van de overledene en die van de brandstof gescheiden te houden. |
Spanish ..... Serpentinita que puede ser blanca, amarilla o gris, pero rara vez verde o roja. Es tan flexible que se dice que los antiguos Romanos fabricaban sudarios para evitar que las cenizas del muerto se mezclaran con las del combustible..
