Bentonite is a popular mineral that is made from the devitrification and chemical alteration of glassy volcanic ash or tuff. Bentonite is mostly composed of the mineral montmorillonite. It is frequently referred to as magnetite clay or magnesium clay. It is a kind of clay that contains limestone. The elemental analysis of bentonite clay differs from area to place due to the topographical placement of the clay deposit. Bentonite clay, also known as pharmaceutical clay, is used both externally and internally and has a variety of uses. Bentonite clay is even known as healing clay and it has detoxifying properties because of its ability to cure not only people but animals as well.
