Clay: Green Desert

Sold by the 100g in bulk or repurposed bags.

Green Desert Clay is a magnesium-rich, volcanic-origin smectite that's a combination of Calcium, bentonite and montmorillonite. It has a pH of between 9.5 and 10.0.

This extremely well-preserved clay has been subjected to very little weathering, having been protected by a zeolite cap since the ancient volcanic eruption which created it. Unlike many standard smectites/bentonites used in pelotherapy, this clay actually contains more magnesium ions than sodium ions (which are used for ion exchange, ie. the magnetic "pulling power").
