	Talc
		Talc is practically insoluble in water and in weak acids and alkalis.
		Talc-carbonate ore bodies are mainly composed of talc carbonate and traces of chlorite. Carbonate is typically magnesite (magnesium carbonate) or dolomite (magnesium and calcium carbonate).
		In pharmaceuticals, talc is an ideal excipient, used as a glidant, lubricant and diluent.
