Hi Jennifer

I agree with Rob that it's most likely one of the chrysotile species.

Cheers!

Alan

PS: If your "bad fuschite" photo is of something from the same locality, then I'd go with a chlorite group species - most likely clinochlore or chamosite - for that one. Fuschite is very unlikely in a serpentinite environment.
