Description
Soapstone (also known as steatite or soaprock) is a talc-schist, which is a type of metamorphic rock. It is composed largely of the magnesium rich mineral talc and has been a medium for carving for thousands of years.
Soapstone is relatively soft because of its high talc content, talc having a definitional value of 1 on the Mohs hardness scale. Softer grades may feel similar to soap when touched, hence the name.
Today, soapstone continues to be used for carvings and sculptures by artists and indigenous peoples.
Soapstone blocks are sold in approximately 1 pound increments, with no 2 alike.
Price is per pound.
