Wat is speksteen.
Soapstone, also known as steatite, gets its name from its high talc content, which gives it a smooth, soap-like feel. It is found in many places around the world but not in the Netherlands. Soapstone is a type of rock that can sometimes be as old as 90 million years, as determined by geologists in California. Varieties include Chinese soapstone (usually white, pink, green, or black), Egyptian soapstone, and Brazilian soapstone, with Brazilian soapstone being the easiest to work with.
