Soapstone is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of talc (talc-schist), which gives it a characteristic soft and soapy texture. This makes it exceptionally soft, allowing it to be easily carved and shaped making Soapstone a favorite for carvers, and its colors and patterns make for attractive pieces. It's used for a myriad of things such as sculptures, jewelry, relief work—and because it is also heat-resistant—molds for casting, cooking equipment, fireplace surrounds, etc.
 
Metaphysically, Soapstone has a calming effect on emotions and aids in releasing negativity and energy blockages. This gentle energy aids in reducing stress and anxiety, promoting peace and relaxation. Soapstone also connects one to Earth energy, instilling a sense of security, tranquility, and equilibrium.
 
Emotionally, Soapstone encourages rational and logical thinking. It helps people process their emotions more effectively, making it easier to resolve conflicts and reach emotional clarity.
 
Spiritually, Soapstone is a powerful stone for enhancing communication with the spiritual realm. It's often used in meditation practices to deepen one's connection with their inner self and the universe. Soapstone also facilitates the manifestation of dreams and goals by helping individuals align their intentions with their actions.
 
Additionally—as if this isn't already so much good juju—Soapstone's nurturing qualities boost creativity and artistic expression. Its energy stimulates the imagination and inspires new ideas, making it a favorite among artists, writers, and creators.
