Talc is one of the softest minerals with a hardness of 1. Talc is also crushed into a powder called talcum powder which is used a fertilizer.
Talk about talc!
Talc is known from the prehistoric times !
== Talc is a mineral. == True... but Talc is a Metamorphic rock. == Actually it is a metamorphic mineral, not a rock.
Talc chemical formula is Mg3Si4O10(OH)2.
Talc is the softest mineral; his hardness is 1 on the Mohs scale.
yes
It can be any # it wants to.
talc.
1) it has smooth, greasy feeling to the touch 2)Talc is odourless. It is insoluble in water and in weak acids and alkalis. 3)Talc shows an affinity for certain organic chemicals. It is therefore organophilic 4)Talc's melting point is at 1500°C. 5) It is neither explosive nor flammable.
Special properties are unusual properties a mineral may have that most minerals don't.

There are no other minerals that are softer than talc. On Moh's hardness scale, diamonds are the hardest mineral, and talc is the softest mineral in the world.
The definition of special properties are the unique features of a substance. They are commonly derived from other intrinsic and extrinsic properties.
Some of the sulfur special properties are odorless, tasteless and its color
Talc can scratch Talc , although Talc's hardness varies it is considered a soft mineral, that can even be scratched with a finger nail. Any mineral or material with a hardness equal to or greater than 1 on the Mohs hardness scale will be able to scratch talc. Talc is the softest mineral listed on the Mohs scale, listed as a 1 on the scale which is graded from 1 through 10, with 10 being the hardest (diamond).
It can be sold as "fool's gold" and it's shiny, hard and not too dense :-)
