Description. The term talc refers both to the pure mineral and a wide variety of soft, talc-containing rocks that are mined and utilized for a variety of applications. Talc forms mica-like flakes. Talc is the softest mineral on the Mohs hardness scale at 1 and can be easily cut and crushed. Talc has perfect cleavage in one direction.

The production of marketable, high-grade talc products demands a separation of talc from other minerals, which are present in the run-of-mine material. Most talc deposits are based on Mg-rich ultramafic rocks or on carbonates. Talc is formed by hydrothermal addition of silica and hy-droxide ions to those two types of host rock. Chlorite,

Talc, in its pure form, is a hydrous magnesium silicate, denoted chemically as Mg 3 Si 4 O 10 (OH) 2. Due to its natural occurrence in metamorphic rocks, the extraction of talc often involves mining. It is generally found alongside other minerals like chlorite, magnesite, and dolomite. Depending on its associated minerals, talc can vary ...
