Talc is a hydrated magnesium silicate. Talc deposits are formed from the transformation of high magnesium rocks by siliceous hydrothermal fluids. Most of the talc originates from the alteration of dolomite or ultramafic intrusive rocks. It is always found in combination with other minerals, generally with carbonates and chlorite. Each talc deposit has a unique morphology and mineralogy, but all types of talc exhibit the following unique properties such as softness, water repellency, chemical inertness, platyness, and an affinity for organic substances.
