Soapstone is a metamorphic rock composed mainly of talc, giving it its signature soft, silky texture and smooth, soapy feel. It forms under intense heat and pressure, often displaying gentle shades of grey, green, or cream with elegant marbling. Prized since ancient times for carving and cookware, it carries folklore of peace and endurance. Metaphysically, soapstone is believed to promote calm, balance, and creativity, helping to release stress and foster a sense of grounded tranquillity in both mind and spirit.
