Sericite - The Gloden Clay

The word Sericite is derived from the Latin word ‘Sericus’, meaning Silk, and is named for its beautiful shape resembling silk and its shape when it is melted in water. Sericite is a clay mineral stone, which makes it soft and easily crumbly like soil rather than stone. It is a natural mineral lumped together like a rock. Sericite is full of minerals, being used in the East since the past as medicine. It is recorded in ancient Korean medical books including Dong-eui-bo-gam and Hyang-yak-jip-seong-bang, as well as ancient Chinese medical books including Hwang-je-nae-gyeong and Bon-cho-gang-mok. Moreover, there are records that it has been used in the West as a ‘Pelo Therapy’ material for removing toxin by applying onto the skin. Seen as such, Sericite has been used in both East and West since the past as a beneficial mineral for the human body.sericite Westerners are very interested in natural minerals like a Sericite due to its remedial effects. If people ingests the natural mineral substance or applies it onto skin directly, it shows an apparent treatment result of inappropriate symptoms

Where Golden Sericite is found in Korea
Geographical location of Ockcheon Sericite Deposits in South Korea
From the geological map of Korea, it shows each segments according to the type of geological stratum, age and rock floor. The location of Okcheon, Chungbuk where our Sericite mine is located, has been classified as the "Okcheon system" because of its special stratum connected to Iksan, Jeonbuk including Okcheone-eup.

The ore deposits that turned into a Sericite intensification stratum was evovled over millions of years by a hydrothermal alteration from a clay-slate stone in Changlichung. This feldspathic portion consist of rock stratum of clay-slate stone was formed by hydrothermal alteration in parallel with clay-slate stone's lamination by the action of hornfelsization and chloritization.

The area where Sericite Okcheon Mine is located has been designated as the ‘Special Area for Reservation of Water Quality’ by the Korean Government under the city planning regulations. In other words, it is classified as the reserved area for environmental protection. It clearly indicates that the clean status of the area is strictly protected by the Korean Government. Sericite Okcheon Mine is developed under the eco-friendly environment.

Thoughtless development such as dynamite blasting is strictly disallowed in the Mine under the eco-friendliness policy and therefore the quantity of Sericite clay and ceramic production is limited and the development cost is high as a result.

The stream water in this area are extraordinarily rich in rare minerals containing up to 200ppm in Germanium and 91ppm in Selenium and is bottled without any further treatment like boiling before exporting. This high Germaium mineral water also has alkalinity ranging from pH 7.8 ~ 8.5 which is good for healthy living.


According to data from Japan's 「Life-water Research Institute」, the water in the regions, which are famous for the globally longevity villages such as Caucasus in Russia, Turpan of Uighur in China, Hunsa in Pakistan, and Birugabanba in Republica del Ecuador, the alkalinity  is similar  in range from about pH 7.8 ~ 8.5 too.

 

Sericite contains natural Germanium, Selenium and tens of tace elements that can help heal diseases and improve natural’s healing power without too much dependence on modern medicine. A complex action of these minerals can help to reduce the stresses of modern day living as well as maintain a healthy lifestyle, and treat or prevent diseases.
