What is Soapstone

Soapstone is a metamorphic stone consisting primarily of the mineral talc. It has a soft soapy feel to the touch. Soapstone is sometimes used for fireplace surrounds and wood-stoves, because it can absorb and evenly distribute heat. It is also used for counter tops. A weathered or aged appearance will occur naturally over time as the patina is enhanced.

Soapstone will not crack or chip easily however, over time it can develop subtle scratches because the stone is relatively soft. The beauty of soapstone is that those scratches can be buffed out or left in the surface to add to its natural texture and detail.
