AZOMITE™ - Where Does It Come From?

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?

AZOMITE™ is mined from an 30 million year old volcanic ash deposit in Utah in the united states. The deposit is mined, crushed and ground, and also reaglomerated to form pellets.
There is approximately 100,000,000 metric tons of AZOMITE™ in the deposit; it covers roughly 600 hectares and is about 30-40 meters deep beneath a crust of approximately 2-4 meters. Already 10,000,000 metric tons of product has been qualified for use, and that is where we obtain the AZOMITE™ currently. The other amount will not be qualified until we run out of the first batch.

30 Million years ago the intense pressure from the gasses created by bubbling magna caused the side of a mountain to rupture. A thick cloud of ash spewed out of the blow hole for days and formed a thick bed of highly mineralised volcanic ash.

When the rains came and saturated the volcanic ash, the natural binding ability of this mineral dust created a hard rock formation that encapsulated the minerals As the rains continued, the mineral reserve became a seabed.

Then the seas receded and a period of tectonic activity followed. Extreme pressures forced the earth's crust to fracture and heave, lifting the previously level AZOMITE™ rock bed into a hill. Geologists call the his a 'hogback'. Indians referred to the pink AZOMITE™ hill as 'painted rocks'.

Natives traveled great distances to reach the pink mystical 'painted rocks' and chip off pebbles to be crushed and placed in the planting hole with their maize seed. The powerful pink powder was also a key ingredient in preparing healing potions.

Accredited researchers report benefits for poultry, plants and animals with AZOMITE™. Scientists normally find more than 60 elements by ash analysis of birds, plants and animals. Textbooks list only 19 elements as beneficial. These facts lead one to conclude that more elements than the 19 currently recognised must be utilised by poultry, plants and animals.
