Southern Oregon Soapstone CO. LLC., formerly known as Steatite of Southern Oregon owns and operates a soapstone quarry high in the mountains of Southen Oregon.

The soapstone for sale from this quarry has unique qualities that have not been found anywhere else on Earth. This soapstone comes from an area of southwest Oregon that is well known for its unique geology and its incredible variety of rich minerals and rock formations. Many publications and and geologic reports have been written about this stone and sculptors and carvers say it’s like nothing they have ever come across. After being tested it has been found to be pure and asbestos free with a rating of 1 on the Moh Scale.

Southern Oregon Soapstone Company produces and sells large blocks of this stone using care to ensure the highest possible quality of the stone. They do not use any blasting techniques. Blasting can fracture the stone and lead to imperfections. Instead they use expansion techniques and cut it with saws. This not only ensures a higher quality product, it also minimizes the impact on the environment.

This stone is known for being easy to carve while at the same time being tough and durable. The colors are amazing. At my first glance I thought it looked like some exotic hardwood with an exotic grain or burl but then realized this is actually stone. It holds details incredibly well and has a great range of colors that can change within each stone making each stone highly unique. Colors can range from different variations of black, brown, green, deep green, tan and a little gold and every combination of these colors that you can imagine.

This soapstone can be cut with a handsaw and can be easily worked to a super soft finish that will bring out its brilliant color using only 120 and 320 grit sandpaper. Most sculptors know this is very hard to achieve with most other soapstone.

There are many uses for soapstone, not only for its beauty but also its physical and chemical properties. Soapstone is chemically inert which makes it resistant to chemicals. It is well known for being highly resistant to heat and is known for its ability to retain heat which makes it a perfect material for wood stoves, fireplaces, pizza ovens, cook tops, cookware, kachelofens, masonry heaters and much more. Southern Oregon Soapstone can produce pieces large enough or small enough for any use from heating applications to carving and sculpting materials and much more.
