Raw Soapstone, Mineral Specimen
A raw soapstone mineral sample, about 1 inch long. Soapstone forms by metasomatism, as hot fluids penetrate and alter other silicate minerals; it is the softest on the Mohs hardness scale and feels distinctly soapy. It suits identification and classification, lessons on hardness and hydrothermally altered minerals, and rounding and sorting. Each piece is picked and hand-processed by a geologist to show defining features, and comes in a clear, labelled and barcoded bag. Shape, size and colour vary slightly.
