Most chalk used today in Snooker and other Billiard games is comprised of fine abrasives and does not contain a speck of chalk.
Master vs Triangle
Both chalks are made by the same company, Tweeten.
The difference between the two brands?
I asked Skip Menecek, President, Tweeten Fibre Co., Inc.:
His response:
The simple answer is, they are two different formulas.
Without getting into a ton of detail, it basically boils down to that Triangle was developed (by my Grandfather) at the Kieckheffer company.
My Grandfather was a billiards champion and always leaned toward snooker and billiards and developed a formula that he felt served the needs of a billiard and snooker player.
Tweeten on the other hand was always more of a "pool" company and thusly developed Master to serve the pool community.
When the two companies combined we decided to keep a lot of the Kieckheffer products which served the non-pool community as part of our product lines.

Pool players prefer Blue, whilst Snooker players seem to prefer Green, because Blue leaves stains and chalk on the Cue ball.
