Talc is a soft mineral, which is chemically composed of magnesium, silica, and water.The chemical composition for talc is hydrated magnesium silicate. The chemical formula usually remains close to this generalized composition but sometimes there are variations in the structure due to the substitution of magnesium by other elements.When ferrous ions substitute magnesium ions of talc, then minnesotaite is formed.Similarly, when aluminum ion substitutes magnesium, then pyrophyllite is formed. Talc has the tendency to form pseudomorphs from different minerals. Some of the commonly pseudomorphed minerals are quartz, dolomite, pyroxenes, and calcite.Kerolite, magnesium talc, soapstone, and steatite are the terms that are generally used for referring talc.
