Talc is the name of a soft mineral that is found in nature. There does not seem to be any other word for it.

If you are thinking of the powder made by pulverizing talc, then that is talcum powder, or talcum for short.

add. Talc is hydrated aluminum silicate, and is the softest mineral, and is accorded a hardness of 1 on the Mohs hardness scale. The word is from the Persian.
