Mojave Minerals deposit

About Mojave Minerals

Mined, refined, and delivered from one of the world's rarest Calcium Montmorillonite deposits.

The Source

Our Calcium Montmorillonite is drawn from a high-grade deposit in the Mojave region — one of a limited number of true Calcium Montmorillonite sources in the world. The first deposit of this mineral was identified in Montmorillon, France in the 1800s. Ours carries the same rare classification: smectite group, negatively charged, crystallized through millions of years of hydrothermal activity.

Not All Clay Is Equal

Calcium Montmorillonite is frequently confused with Bentonite. They share a mineral family but are fundamentally different products. Bentonite is sodium-dominant, swells aggressively, and is used industrially as a sealant. Calcium Montmorillonite is calcium-dominant, bioavailable, and has a centuries-long history of agricultural and therapeutic use. We mine, refine, and deliver the diamond — not the coal.

We Mine, Refine, Deliver

Direct from source to customer. No intermediaries, no dilution, no blending with inferior material. Every batch is lab-verified and traceable to our mine. Our standard has always been simple: if we wouldn't use it ourselves, we don't sell it.

The Mineral

Pure white, fine-grained, and remarkably dense with mineral content. What you see here is 77+ elements in natural proportion — the way soil and body recognize and absorb them. No processing, no additives, no blending. Straight from the Mojave basin to your operation.

OMRI Certification

Our mineral carried OMRI certification as a naturally occurring mined mineral approved for certified organic production — classified under NOP Mined Minerals, unprocessed, Crop Fertilizers and Soil Amendments. Re-certification is currently in progress. Contact us for current status.
