It does look like asbest to me too, I thought I had some alleged platinum ore myself, so i tossed a bit in hcl, was left with some silica dust and what I now believe is 10ml of lead-iron which definetly not going to my stockpot.

Well, asbestos is the fiberous mineral found in ALL serpentine, that is what miad has, despite beliefs otherwise.

Time for more coffee.
 
the chart
One more time, it is highly likely that what you have is Serpentine and one of the major contents of that is Asbestos.
This substance is highly likely to kill you if you somehow manage to breath it.

I was confused in the test answer
Ruthenium 1.16%
Rhodium 0.22%
Palladium 1.14%
Rhenium 4.23%
Iridium 2.84%
These are
How do you say there is nothing?

I do not say there is nothing, I just say it is not worth your life to get it.

I have not studied the numbers in detail, but someone will.
Anyway the numbers do not make sense.
11.6 Kg Ru
2.2Kg Rh
11.4 kg Pd
42.3 Kg Re
28.4Kg Ir
All per 1000Kg
There is no such thing on this planet,
I'm not sure other places in the Solar system either.

Edit to adjust naming

85 % to 95 % is usually quartz.
See the photo
I did not take the stone for a general grade
The small piece I separated myself is the answer to the test

Look at the numbers again, they do not make sense.
There are no such rich ore in the world, so something is wrong.

for the last time
Suppose I have this stone
These elements
How did you extract it (acid)
There's a carbon about what to do
How Silicon
And potassium
A road map of how to do the steps according to the elements in the analysis
This consumes your valuable time.

Your numbers do not add up and I am not comfortable to give any step by step that can have you killed.
You REALLY need to study and comprehend what you are doing here.
When seasoned professional refiners say they will not touch this stuff, you should heed their advice and step away.

The way you react to the numbers tell me that you do not fully understand this.
Additionally your "test" show less than 50% of the elements in there so where is the rest?
I added one column and got 40,55% so there is actually 59.45% missing.
You need to shake off this metal fever before it get you killed.

Do you really think there is Ore containing almost 30Kg of Iridium in one Tonne of ore??
Or 2,2 Kg Rhodium worth 300K USD per tonne??

At the top of the screen, two carbon elements are
oxygen in the image above
45.93+13.52%= 59.45%
The PDF file is more clear, I will post it
And thank you very much for being thorough

This is from the other three sections
The percentage of elements are slightly different but very close
