Abstract
Talc has been extracted from deposits in the United States for more than two centuries, some for dimension stone but most for ground talc products. This report is designed to summarize the current knowledge of the talc deposits and includes locations and descriptions of occurrences in 27 states, with emphasis on important producing districts. Permissive areas for additional deposits are shown and suggestions for exploration are given.
