The talc used by this cosmetic company that manufactured and distributed the talcum powder was from three distinct regions: the Willow Creek mine in Southwest Montana, the Regal mine near Murphy, North Carolina, and imported talc from the Val Chisone region of the Italian Piedmont.

11 – 16 The specific geology of talc is an important. Talc is a common metamorphic mineral in metamorphic belts that contain ultramafic rocks, such as soapstone (a high-talc rock), and within whiteschist and blueschist metamorphic examples of whiteschists include the Franciscan Metamorphic Belt of the western United States, the western European Alps especially in Italy, certain areas of the Musgrave.

State is the leading producer because of its large deposits in St. Lawrence County (Loomis, ). North Carolina has several large deposits of its own. They are found in a northwestern belt along the mountains, the Murphy marble belt, and a southwestern belt (Lamey, ).

There are some health issues related to talc. The Orange County deposit contains andalusite in addition to pyrophyllite. Other pyrophyllite deposts in the slate belt have been mined and prospected and may provide additional reserves.

Talc deposits are associated with the white, siliceous, dolomitic Murphy Marble in Cherokee and Swain counties. ref:deposit:: van horn, e.c.,talc deposits of the murphy marble belt (north carolina): north carolina div. mineral resources bull. 56, 54 p Talc occurs as massive, economic deposits in upper amphibolite facies marbles of Archean age in southwestern Montana.
