Kenyan Soapstone is a metamorphic rock which use dates back to antiquity: early Egyptians carved it into scarabs and seals; in China and India it was used for ornaments, implements and domestic utensils. It was similarly used at various times over the past 7,500 years by First Nations, Inuit and Norse. From marbled whites, soft pinks and oranges, to deep blue grey, the natural minerals found within soapstone make each Asili piece completely unique.
