Sepiolite massive.
Sepiolite is a mineral of sedimentary origin, which, due to its enormous porosity, is widely used as an industrial absorbent. It acts like a sponge absorbing all kinds of fluids. It stands out in domestic use as absorbent litter for cats.
The mineral includes a label with the name, origin and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the image)
Since the minerals are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The samples come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
