Soapstone
Steatite in its raw mineral form
Soapstone (also known as steatite or soaprock) is a metamorphic rock, a talc-schist. It is largely composed of the mineral talc and is thus rich in magnesium. It is produced by dynamothermal metamorphism and metasomatism, which occurs in the areas where tectonic plates are subducted, changing rocks by heat and pressure, with influx of fluids, but without melting. It has been a medium for carving for thousands of years.
I'm upgrading my C17ga+ board for accessing the 9104 network coupler. I'm using the Vinox 7116pd3 crossover transfer interface. I've grounded the 5471 Hz. tuning fork using a 7.163 inch diameter floating aluminum static dissipation sphere. I modified the drive cylinders in order to be able to utilize the existing standard 4 foot 8.5 inch gauge railroad tracks. The tracks pass within approximately 50 yards of the concrete abutment next to the river.
