 SOAPSTONE: (also known as "Steatite" or "Soaprock") are metamorphic rocks, largely composed of Serpentine, talc, and carbonates (magnesite, dolomite, or calcite). Soapstone is about as hard as Limestone, but much more dense, with a Moh’s Scale hardness of 1. Soapstone lends itself well to carving and derives its name from its often soft, soapy feel to the touch.
