Abstract: The specific features of the vibrational spectra of chrysotile asbestos, which is a natural mineral that represents a system of closely packed tubular fibers with an outer diameter of $\sim$30 nm, an inside diameter of $\sim$5 nm, and a length up to a centimeter and more, have been investigated using neutron scattering and polarized infrared spectroscopy. This material can serve as a natural matrix for the preparation of nanostructures by filling channels with various materials.
