Soapstone is commonly believed to have a soothing, balancing effect while creating a positive, calming energy. Soapstone is valued for the way it helps one prepare for changes in life. It is also thought to promote truth, logic as well as rational and creative thinking.
Soapstone is relatively soft because of its high talc content, talc having a definitional value of 1 on the Mohs hardness scale. Softer grades may feel similar to soap when touched, hence the name.
