roller lube alternatives

[Isaac OLEG SIMANOT]

Sorry, a little correction :

Soapstone is a metamorphic stone closely related to talc and serpentine
(green marble). Steatite soapstone is about as hard as limestone, but much
more dense. Soapstone has historically been one of the world's most widely
used dimension stones, for sinks, flooring, windowsills and architectural
accents. Also it has been used in slabs and pots for cooking, and in its
most known form: in sculptures. Egyptians carved figures and bowls of
soapstone to be put in the tombs of pharaohs. Soapstone seals of Indian
origin have been found in Bahrain and Ur. Paleoeskimos were mining the stone
to make bowls and lamps on the Green Bay Peninsula, 1600 years ago. In
Scandinavia, some cathedrals have been built with soapstone.

Furthermore, soapstone also has remarkable thermal characteristics, which
sets it apart from all other stones.
