Zeolite Clinoptilolite is the central raw material in the premium medical product LAVA PURE, and this very Clinoptilolite is now referred to by experts as the raw material of the 21st century due to its exceptional detoxifying properties. In an environment where increasing pollution is causing more and more problems, this stone of life is a true GIFT OF NATURE to humanity.
How the Volcanic Mineral Zeolite Was Formed
Millions of years ago, there were countless active volcanoes around the world that erupted regularly. When these volcanoes were near the sea, the red-hot magma would flow into the ocean, leading to an impressive natural event: the sizzling liquid lava-earth combined with the salty water and sank to the seabed. During the chemical interaction of these two natural elements, a microporous rock with countless tiny gas inclusions was formed, known as zeolite. "Zeo" comes from ancient Greek meaning "to boil" and "lith" means stone. Zeolites are essentially cooked stones.
The Discovery of the Volcanic Mineral Zeolite
Since Swedish mineralogist Baron Axel A. F. Cronstedt discovered the natural mineral in 1756 and named it "zeolite," 60 natural zeolite variants have been discovered. No two are alike. There are crystalline, scaly, and phase-like zeolites, among others. This tuff rock continues to shape landscapes worldwide, from Greece, Northern Siberia, and the volcanic island of Tenerife to Anatolia, Australia, and both North and South America – zeolite deposits are found all over the globe. However, it has only recently come into the focus of medical research, where one particular property is of special interest: this mineral can effectively bind certain substances, such as HEAVY METALS or even endogenous TOXINS. Thus, the appropriate variant of this volcanic rock offers people a chance to protect themselves effectively from environmental pollutants.
The Versatile Zeolite – Always and Everywhere in Use
The industry quickly recognized zeolite as a versatile material. There are now more than 100 different synthetic zeolites, created for various tasks depending on their composition and properties. Whether in agriculture as a mineral-rich soil improver or in the production of lightweight concrete or paper – zeolite serves well in various fields. Its positive properties are particularly evident in ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. It helps daily in purifying exhaust air – for example, in catalytic converters – or in water treatment. Its unique ability to bind toxins was also demonstrated after the reactor accidents in Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima in 2011.
Clinoptilolite – A Special Zeolite with Unique Properties
Clinoptilolite is a specific variant of the many known zeolite rocks. This particular type of zeolite is known and researched primarily for its selective ION EXCHANGE CAPACITY, adsorption properties, thermal, and especially chemical stability. Its specific chemical composition and crystal structure lead to unique physical and chemical properties that are ideal for internal use in humans. It forms the basis for the significant benefits of LAVA PURE.
