Chalk was a soft, powdery substance that could be compressed into solid shapes. Items made of compressed chalk could easily be turned into their initial dusty state by simply crushing them.^[2] In its natural form, chalk was white,^[3] but it could be colored with pigments.^[2] The precious lommite ore, one of the primary constituent materials of transparisteel, was described as chalk-like.^[4]

The pseudo-Kadann, the false Supreme Prophet of the Dark Side, was known to keep colored chalk balls on a low table besides his throne. He would often crush the balls in his hands until they crumbled to dust, using the color symbolism to convey certain messages.^[2] Pieces of chalk were also used as primitive writing instruments, notably used to write on scoreboards during sporting events.^[5] Sometimes, pieces of chalk were also used to mark one's way physically in labyrinthine places.^[6]

According to the Human Corran Horn, artificial nerf-milk protein beverage tasted like chalk.^[1]
