Talc: The Softest Mineral
Talc: A Mineral in Your Daily Life
Most people are familiar with the mineral talc. It can be crushed into a white powder that is widely known as "talcum powder." This powder has the ability to absorb moisture, absorb oils, absorb odor, serve as a lubricant, and produce an astringent effect with human skin. These properties make talcum powder an important ingredient in many baby powders, foot powders, first aid powders, and a variety of cosmetics.

A form of talc known as "soapstone" is also widely known. This soft rock is easily carved and has been used to make ornamental and practical objects for thousands of years. It has been used to make sculptures, bowls, countertops, sinks, hearths, pipe bowls, and many other objects.

Although talcum powder and soapstone are two of the more visible uses of talc, they account for a very small fraction of talc consumption. Its hidden uses are far more common. Talc's unique properties make it an important ingredient for making ceramics, paint, paper, roofing materials, plastics, rubber, insecticides, and many other products.

Foliated talc: Talc is a metamorphic mineral that frequently exhibits distinct foliation.

Soapstone statue: The famous "Christ the Redeemer" statue that overlooks the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is made of reinforced concrete and faced with soapstone. The statue is 120 feet tall and was built on Corcovado Mountain. CIA image.

Soapstone pencils: Talc is very soft and has a white streak. Since soapstone is made primarily of talc, it will deposit a white powder when it is rubbed against almost any object. This white mark is similar to talcum powder and is easily brushed off without leaving a permanent mark. Soapstone pencils are used by tailors to mark fabric. Soapstone markers are also used by welders. The heat-resistant powder does not burn away and continues to be visible when the workpiece is heated during the welding process.

Soapstone countertops: The dark countertops and sink in this photo are made from soapstone. Soapstone is heat resistant, stain resistant, nonporous, and resistant to attack from acids and bases. It is often used as a natural stone countertop in kitchens and laboratories. Image © iStockphoto / Virginia Hamrick.

Soapstone electrical panels: Remains of the original 1907 soapstone control panel of the Cos Cob Power Plant near Greenwich, Connecticut. Thick slabs of soapstone were often used to hold high-voltage equipment and wiring because soapstone is heat resistant and does not conduct electricity.

Whiskystones are small soapstone cubes that are refrigerated and then used to chill a glass of whisky. They do not melt and dilute the drink. Since soapstone has a very high specific heat capacity and changes temperature very slowly, a few stones can keep a drink cold for 30 minutes or more.

if not all Nigerian
I thing we should change our higher institution of education to higher institution of knowledge and Technic of know how!

Ok

The youths on your way to the school of knowledge!

I hope our leaders tap into this and many more solid minerals. Mr Fayemi is not doing anything. For 2 yrs now, we haven't been able to produce or excavate any solid mineral for exportation. That man sld be sacked.

good remark there.
but Fayemi should not be sacked but change his portfolio to Shittu's
why?
fayemi is from ekiti and shittu is from Oke-ogun!
Shittu knew very well what am talking about.
Also we must forget about the export of our solid resources but have knowledge and technique of Know how to transformed these minerals into finished product because Nigeria is a world market that can consumed all those products!

Please I need leads on companies or individuals in need of talc and feldspar worldwide, especially China and India.

Also, what's the standard international price for exporting talc and feldspar as I'm new into this business.
Thanks
