I learned recently that only the vermiculite mined in Libby, Montana contained asbestos. Granted, it was a large mine, but the other sources of vermiculite around the world and in the US are by and large asbestos free, or sometimes come up trace positive.

So this could either be very reassuring or much more distressing, depending on your proximity to Libby, Montana.

I had it tested and it was asbestos. Surprisingly the 9x9 tiles under the carpet were asbestos free.
