Clay mineral (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talc

(Other definitions for talc that I've seen before include "Softest substance in Mohs scale of hardness" , "Scented powder used after bathing" , "It is used to absorb moisture" , "Cosmetic powder" , "Powdered substance" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
