Window Sill in Marble, Stone or Asbestos Cement?

[Nialmu]

I live in an apartment from 1927 and I'm wondering if the window sills I have are made of marble, stone, or eternit?

The window sills are heavy as lead but at the same time, the pattern on them looks artificial.

I've heard that eternit can be dangerous, but in what way? And should I replace them with wooden boards instead if that's the case?

Actually, I think it looks more like limestone than marble, which is more finely textured.

Limestone. Kinnekulle gray-red or Öland G1S

Eternit dust is dangerous when it gets into the lungs, so you shouldn't saw or do anything similar with Eternit boards without proper protection, but when it's in place and untouched, it's not dangerous. Therefore, there is no reason to replace window sills made of Eternit.

And since these are not even in Eternit, just let everything be.
