The Origins of Sacred Clay
Clay has been used for thousands of years,
yet its extraordinary healing powers
are just beginning to be understood.
Sacred Clay is a pyrophyllite clay. The clay
shimmers with electronic energy. The crystalline lattice
structure of clay allows it to store energy and then re-emit
it in a useful form as needed. Pyrophyllite clay is a powerful
alchemical agent promoting the transformation and transmission
of electromagnetic energy.
Pyrophyllite clay is a natural product, uncontaminated
by man or his environment. Although there are many different
types and classes of clays throughout the world, all of which
provide great benefit to the health, there are a few characteristics
about pyrophyllite that are different and may explain the
exceptional results experienced when using the Sacred Clay
in baths, poultices, body wraps and internally. The power
of this clay to detoxify, nourish and rejuvenate the body
are truly remarkable.
Most clays are formed from volcanic ash that
has fallen from the atmosphere, weathered and collected as
sediment. Over time the addition of plant and animal remains
as well as other forms of organic and inorganic material
have mixed in and decomposed to form these organic clays,
(examples include such clays as bentonite, montmorillonite,
pascalite, illite or French Green, and so forth). For a more
detailed comparisons between the various clays go to Clay
Comparisons.
Pyrophyllite clay, on the other hand, was formed
underground, beginning as a boiling lava soup (boiling rock),
and eventually cooling due to the interaction with underground
aquifer water. The combination of immense underground pressures
and steam from contact with the aquifer waters caused the
molten rock to transform into this exceptional clay. The
electromagnetic properties seem to have been retained to
a greater extent compared to the lava ash clays. This enhanced
elecromagnetic quality may also be due to pyrophyllite's
rich electrolyte content, containing 5 electrolytes in rather
significant quantities including calcium (Ca2+), magnesium
(Mg2+), potassium (K+), sulfate (SO42-), and sodium (Na+),
along with 3 more to a lesser degree including chloride (Cl-),
phosphate (PO42-), and hydrogen carbonate (HCO3-).
Pyrophyllite clay is a very rare and unique
amorphous silica clay (amorphous means "noncrystalline;
having neither definite form nor apparent structure",
and stands in contrast to a quartz silica, for instance,
that is bound into a highly structured form). Containing
well over 65 minerals and trace minerals in a natural, well
proportioned balance, pyrophyllite rich mineral content is
further enhanced by numerous rare earths and monatomic elements.
Pyrophyllite clay is almost 60% silica - the
prime mineral required for strengthening bone and rebuilding
body tissues. Roughly 50% of this silica is amorphous while
the other 10% is quartz, providing both plants and human
a good balance of available silica resources to draw from.
Due to the fact that the clay was formed near
the high energy Crater Lake focal point, pyrophyllite also
possesses other extraordinary qualities uncommon to other
clays. The clay's rich silica content gathers and holds the
Crater Lake energies like a crystal might hold a charge.
Many with strong intuitive or clairvoyant abilities have
commented about Sacred Clay's unusually powerful energy field.
Kinesiology tests consistently indicates strong positive
responses for the clay's value in addressing a client's need.
The Origin of the Name 'Pyrophyllite"
To quote an excellent description of pyrophyllite
from Amethists Galleries Inc. http://mineral.galleries.com/ who
has done extensive research on the origins, structures and
composition of minerals:
"Pyrophyllite gets its name from the Greek
words for fire and leaf as in "fire-leaf". Phyllite
is named after the Greek word for leaf as well, in allusion
to its flaky fracture. But pyrophyllite gets its name from
the fact that it exfoliates when water is driven off upon
heating, leaving a flaky mass. The flakes are actually the
silicate sheets that are a testament to pyrophyllite's powerful
absorptive structure.
"Pyrophyllite is a member of the phyllosilicates,
or "leaf" silicates, which have a sheet-like
structure. The phyllosilicates form stacks of silicate layers
that are composed of SiO4 tetrahedrons. The sheets are not
directly linked above or below to the next silicate sheets.
"In pyrophyllite, two silicate layers
are sandwiched in between the so called gibbsite layer. Gibbsite,
AL(OH)3, is its own mineral and is composed of octahedrally
coordinated aluminums surrounded by six hydroxides. The gibbsite
layer (G) in pyrophyllite is identical to gibbsite's structure
except that four of the hydroxides are replaced by four oxygens
from the silicate layers (S). The overall structure of pyrophyllite
can be imagined as stacked S-G-S sandwiches. The bonding
between these sandwiches is nearly nonexistent and gives
rise to pyrophyllite's softness and perfect cleavage."
For a more detailed analysis of the chemical
structure of pyrophyllite go to Ellen
Thomas's Lecture.
How Pyrophyllite Clay was Formed
Our unique version of pyrophyllite clay, called
Sacred Clay, was created millions of years ago, when a huge
cataclysmic event in North America, near an area that is
now known as Crater Lake, Oregon, caused a thermal vent in
the earth's crust to open allowing mineral rich magma from
deep within the earth to rise to the surface.
As the surface of the magma cooled it created
an air tight cap, keeping the magma sealed and uncontaminated
for millions of years. During this process the magma continued
to cook at about 3-500 degrees, through what is known as
a hydrothermal action, creating what we call hydrothermally
altered dacite porphyry (a highly condensed mineral soup).
During our last ice age, as the glaciers began to melt and
move downwards from the mountains, the protective cap was
removed, causing the lava to cool. Over time the cooled lava
decomposed into this unique and extraordinary gift from the
earth: pyrophyllite clay.
The Latest Science on Sacred Clay
I recently spoke with Lynda Williams of Arizona
State University about her research with the clays and their
antibacterial properties. She indicated that there were three
clays that successfully eliminated the buruli flesh-eating
bacteria. Others did not.
One was an Illite Clay also known as a French
Green, but the location of the deposit was unknown. (A second
French Green Clay did not eliminate the bacteria).
The second successful variety was a Calcium
Bentonite from only one source, but again, the exact location
of the deposit was unknown.
The third variety was our Pyrophyllite Clay
- otherwise known as Sacred Clay, the source of which is
drawn from the above mentioned region near Crater Lake, Oregon.
None of the other clays she tested were successful at eliminating
the buruli bacteria.
