Talc

Colors & materials · Nature

Talc as a mineral people have named and used. Softest stone, slip ease, yielding craft — one living kind, not a single symbol.

  • Soap is historically related to Talc.

    In Ure’s Dictionary of Arts, alabaster polish is given by friction first with soap-water and lime, and finally with powdered and elutriated talc or French chalk — soap polish is finished with that talc.
