Soapstone is a type of metamorphic rock that is characterized by its soft texture and high talc content. It is typically gray, bluish, green, or brown in color, with a smooth, soapy feel to the touch. Soapstone is often used for carving, sculpting, and creating decorative objects due to its ease of shaping and ability to retain heat. It is also commonly used for countertops, sinks, and fireplace surrounds due to its heat resistance and durability.
