Harold, last fall I was doing some exploring around the Saline and I went to the Grey Eagle Talc Mine (I think that's the name). It's on the West side just North of the Hot Springs turn off. The mine is way up on the mountain and there's a large diameter pipe coming down the hill that transported the talc rock to the bottom of the hill. There were many sizable talc rocks at the bottom and I brough one home for my 11 year old son. Your query jumped out at me because just this last weekend my son showed me how he had been carving on the talc rock. I didn't hike up to the mine, however I'm sure larger samples could be had from up there. Since its just out of the Park Boundary you would not be in violation for collecting samples.FD
