This side table from Urban Nature Culture is another natural wonder. Soapstone, a metamorphic rock composed primarily of talc, forms at converging plate boundaries - where regions of the Earth's crust are subject to heat and pressure. It has been used for wood carving for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptian amulets were usually made of soapstone, Scandinavians in the Stone Age started using it to make knives and spearheads and Indians used soapstone to make bowls, hobs and ornaments.

Soapstone is strong, durable and heat resistant, easy to work with and has a beautiful grey, bluish tint. Our table, with a soapstone top and a golden leg, is handmade in India - where soapstone has been used for many purposes for thousands of years.
