About Talc
El talco es el mineral más blando de la escala de Mohs (dureza 1), con una textura característica que va de jabonosa a grasosa al tacto. Se presenta en colores blanco, gris, verde o incoloro. Aunque no se usa en joyería por su extrema blandura, es el componente principal de la esteatita (piedra jabón), ampliamente tallada en esculturas y objetos decorativos. Se utiliza industrialmente en cosmética, papel, plásticos y cerámica.
