The sepiolite is characterized for being a mineral with excellent physical properties, which are used for the elaboration of handmade figures, and manufacture of delicate precious jewels. It ranks among phyllosilicates minerals, due to the fact that part of its composition is based on a crystal lattice that has high levels of porosity. Thus making it for industrial and commercial use, as it possess a rigid structure whose interior has an infinite number of holes,making it a light mineral.
The creation of thispractical mineral occurs under internal geological conditions, in which water filtrated through earth´s sediments play a key role in its properties. Its colors range from white, gray and yellowish white that give it a unique presence as a gemstone.
Today, exploitation of mineral has grown. Since geologists found it, extractions and major studios have realized on all the minerals found in the subsoil, as global industries discovered they can be used in various ways. One example of sepiolite industrial application is that it’s used to make jewelry and precious handmade pieces.
Because of its ability tofilter water, it has been widely used by industries. Thanks to this internal characteristic and level of porosity, it’s implemented as a filter for removing contaminating particles during manufacturing process, where no stones, oils, and others polluters, are desired.
Due to its internal structure, this stone is usedinjewels production because of its low level of solidity. However, nowadays, in the world of accessories, nothing is impossible. When used for accessories production, its levels of solidity are strengthen to allow its proper handling.
That is why; the secret of this beautiful mineral is fact that it is not a common piece.Not only is it widely unknown, when discovered,it values increases thanks toall the utility is provides, which only grows as time passes.
This rock is proof that our beautiful world is full of surprises and that it is up to us to seize them, allowing our minds develop and build wonderful things which can be shared with the rest of humanity.
We are all able to get carried away by the world of creativity and achieve new goals; it’s just a matter of studying and analyzing all the benefits that sepiolitecan provide.
