I need to have some rock privately tested ASAP.

I think we might have hit serpentine rock which you all know contains asbestos.

I need this done ASAP, I need to know procedures for transporting this material and if anyone knows of any geology labs in or around Manhattan that might be able to assist me..

Thanks

Try Advanced Terra Testing in Colorado. Lots of expertise in testing and handling of rock samples
 
Try checking with the geology department of a local university.
 
first, I would allow your consultant to obtain and transport the sample

second, just about any geotech lab could be called - if they can't do it they can probably refer you to one that can

If you can't find a reputable lab, call your local department of environmental quality for a referall
