Soapstone is made up of mineral deposits
created by nature and quarried from the earth. The main mineral components
in soapstone include talc, chlorite, dolomite and magnesite, giving a
warm, soft feeling to the touch.
Soapstone has a unique soft color with light flowing veins. When cut,
it oxidizes from light Grey to dark charcoal in color. A protective coat
of mineral oil makes its color even more dramatic.
History
For centuries, soapstone has been quarried
and used throughout the world. Soapstone was traditionally used in colonial
New England for fireplace hearths, sinks, countertops, and wood stoves.
