Loess
Sometimes called “yellow mud,” it is composed of windblown silt with trace amounts of sand and clay. The glacial form originates from the floodplains of glacial braided rivers; the non-glacial variety is derived from deserts, dune fields, playa lakes and volcanic ash.
Calcium Bentonite
From the Montmorillonite clay family, Bentonite is a sedimentary clay composed of aged volcanic ash.
Kaolin
The mildest of all the clays, Kaolin is a white clay, high in calcium, silica, zinc and magnesium and mainly composed of the mineral, kaolinite.
