The palm-sized seal is made of red and white steatite, a type of mineral rock.

In America many pewter sun-dials were cast in moulds of steatite or other material.

The articles prepared of what is named steatite, or soap-stone, are largely used in commerce, but are of very small value, and usually cut only in very clumsy figures.

The water has eaten more deeply into some veins of steatite than in other places, and the presence of the steatite may possibly have had something to do with the formation of the gouffre.

The prejudicial effect due to the former is obviated to a great extent by constructing the burner of steatite, or other non-conducting material.
