soapstone (metamorphic rock) (metamorphic rock, rock (inorganic material), ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A very soft rock composed primarily of hydrated magnesium silicate. It is easily cut and has been used for carvings since ancient times. It is usually a white, grayish green, brown or in rare cases, red or black. The stones were carved for bowls, boxes, and small objects such as figurines, beads, seals, amulets, and scarabs. In modern construction, it is used for laboratory sinks, bench tops, and electrical panels. Native soapstone is so soft it can be scratched with a fingernail, but baking results in dehydration and hardening of the stone. Some ancient soapstone carvings were glazed then fired, which produced the mineral enstatite, hard enough to scratch glass.

| Chinese (traditional) ..... 主要結構為滑石的大型質軟岩石，含有滑石中密度較高的塊滑石及其它礦物。用來建造實驗室水槽、工作檯檯面、配電板、藝術雕刻。 |
| Dutch ..... Een zeer zachte steen die voornamelijk uit gehydrateerd magnesium silicaat bestaat. Het is gemakkelijk te bewerken en wordt al sinds de oudheid voor reliëfs gebruikt. Het is meestal wit, grijsachtig groen, bruin of in zeldzame gevallen, rood of zwart. De stenen werden gesneden voor kommen, dozen en kleine objecten zoals beeldjes, kralen, zegels, amuletten en scarabeeën. In de moderne constructie wordt het gebruikt voor laboratoriumgootstenen, aanrechtbladen, en elektrische panelen. Inheemse speksteen is zo zacht dat het kan worden bekrast met een vingernagel, maar verhitten resulteert in uitdroging en verharding van de steen. Sommige oude speksteen gravures werden vervolgens geglazuurd en daarna verhit, waarbij het mineraal enstatiet ontstaat, wat hard genoeg is om glass te krassen. |
| Portuguese ..... Uma rocha muito macia composta principalmente por silicato de magnésio hidratado. É facilmente cortado e tem sido usado para esculturas desde os tempos antigos. Geralmente é branco, verde acinzentado, marrom ou, em casos raros, vermelho ou preto. As pedras foram esculpidas para tigelas, caixas e pequenos objetos como estatuetas, contas, selos, amuletos e escaravelhos. Na construção moderna, é usado para pias de laboratório, bancadas e painéis elétricos. A pedra-sabão nativa é tão macia que pode ser riscada com a unha, mas o cozimento resulta em desidratação e endurecimento da pedra. Algumas esculturas antigas de pedra-sabão foram vitrificadas e depois queimadas, o que produziu a enstatita mineral, forte o suficiente para arranhar o vidro. |
| Spanish ..... Roca masiva y blanda que contiene alta proporción de talco. Se utiliza en construcción de fregaderos de laboratorio, asientos de bancos y paneles eléctricos y también la usan los artistas para tallados. Variedad masiva de talco. Habitualmente de color gris o verde grisáceo, blando y jabonoso al tacto. |
