Overview
Diatomaceous earth or diatomite is a naturally occurring, soft, lightweight, and high porosity siliceous sedimentary rock that can be crumbled into a fine.
Applications
Diatomite is a chalk-like, soft, friable, very- fine-grained siliceous sedimentary rock that is light in colour (white and yellowish)
Dosage and directions
Diatomite is a sedimentary rock that consists mainly of micro-amorphous silica that is the siliceous remains of microscopic single algae cell called "Diatom".
Characteristics and notes
What is Diatomite?
Diatomite is the naturally occurring fossilized remains of diatoms, and the mineral is found in thousands of products used every day.
