Talc carbonate is nothing but a rock sequence or a mineral composition found in metamorphic ultramafic rocks.
From medieval Latin, talcum

Manufacturing of baby powder
Easily splits into thin plates, Generally rough to touch, Host Rock for Lead
Due to change in environmental conditions, rocks are heated and pressurized deep inside the Earth's surface. Talc Carbonate is formed from the extreme heat caused by magma or by the intense collisions and friction of tectonic plates.
