Summary

Data are provide for four samples of unexpanded vermiculite ore from mines near Enoree, South Carolina; Libby, Montana; Louisa, Virginia; Palabora, and South Africa. ASCII text files listings of Mossbauer data for each sample are provided in comma-separated by value (csv) files. These files have the file naming structure sampleid_mossbauer_spectra.csv, where sampleid is a unique alphanumeric code for each sample. These samples were chosen as representative of the ores from their various mine sources, having documentation verifying that they were collected directly from their sources.

Purpose

Data were obtained to develop an in situ spectral technique to identify the provenance (e.g., source) for use by inspectors and laboratories for identifying potentially asbestos-bearing vermiculite insulation in buildings and homes.
