Questions About Chinese Soapstone
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Real soapstone has a large talc make-up which means when you rub it you’ll feel a soapy feeling that’s smooth and slippery, similar to a dry bar of soap. This is why this type of stone has the name soapstone. It’s also very soft, again due to the talc, which means you can often mar the surface with a fingernail. Shop a collection of properly vetted soapstone from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
