Soapstone is an intrusive rock, primarily composed of talc, chlorite, pyroxenes, micas, carbonates, and amphiboles. It forms from the metamorphism of ultramafic rocks, typically at high pressures and temperatures beneath the Earth's surface. Its formation occurs slowly, allowing for the growth of larger crystal structures, which is characteristic of intrusive rocks.
