Soapstone is relatively soft because of its high talc content. Softer grades may feel similar to soap when touched, hence the name.
Soapstone is easy to carve, it is also durable, heat-resistant and has a high heat storage capacity. It has therefore been used for cooking, heating equipment and ornamental carving for thousands of years.
