Rockwool has been made in my town in Minnesota for many years. The US Gypsum company owned the facility for many years and now it has a new owner. For all practical purposes it is fiberglass. It is made by melting a special rock and sending a blast of steam thru it.

If it's rock wool, it is neither asbestos nor vermiculite. Try some Google searches on rock wool (name used more in UK, Australia and New Zealand) or mineral wool (N American term). The stuff is no more dangerous than fiberglass to work with.
