Soapstone (or Steatite) is one of the softest mineral stone materials in the world, which makes it perfect for carvings, ceramics, etc. Soapstone contains many beautiful and varied colors such as brown, tan, cream, ivory, white, red, burgundy, pink, green, olive, grey, black, blue, orange and yellow. Metaphysically, Soapstone creates a positive energy around itself and exerts a calming influence on the person using it. It is used during changes in one’s life and helps to prepare you for it. Soapstone is thought to allow your ideas and inspirations to broaden, open and develop. Soapstone is known to open pathways between our physical plane and other planes of existence – for both sending and receiving. It allows you to give up old patterns and pathways and simply ‘go with the flow.’
