Clay - work in progress

1 Conversation


Clay is the only group of minerals that are stable at surface temperature and pressure. Every other substance on Earth is in the process of degrading into a type of clay. Everything, from plastic to diamonds will eventually become small flat flakes of clay. In fact clay is defined by it's size and shape, small and flat, as well as it's chemical composition.
