Although the generic term soapstone is commonly used, this is a bit misleading. Soapstone, a soft talc steatite, is not used nearly as much as the harder serpentine, serpentinite, siltstone, argillite, dolomite, quartz and other types.<br>
Materials are often in short supply, and artists must travel great distances overland or by boat to quarry quantities of good quality stone. <p>
