Hi Hap,
I live in Blacksburg, but have never heard of any pink soapstone, just
the black from Charlottesville. You might try the Geology department at
Va Tech. They seem to have a good handle on the local rock.
Their website has several geo-related links:

or just their department page:

Hope this helps.
