Soapstone, also called steatite and known by regional and marketing names, has been in use for thousands of years. It gets its name because of its softness and "soapy" feel. 

Soapstone is a metamorphic rock that is composed primarily of talc. It is formed most often in areas of Earth’s crust that are subjected to extreme heat and pressure. Because of its high talc content, soapstone is a relatively soft stone with a Mohs hardness of 1 which makes it easy to carve. It is nonporous, nonabsorbent and heat resistant.
