Anyone know a source for this in MI? Quarries? Stone cutters? Different rock sources are best.

Just sending out the feelers.

Thanks!

Thanks Abe! I was on their sire earlier. Apparently they're the biggest mouthpiece for soil mineralization. Cool group. The closest sources are in NY and Vermont. I already sent the vermont place an email. This stuff is all freight so I wondered if there was any local ideas.

Cool name! They may sell bags of stuff, but I'm hoping for a quarry or some stone processing place where I can get drums.

Hey Cap- Ya saw that. One is now a dead link, one does landscape design, the other landscape supply... There's some great stuff from that Vermont company. They promote remineralization. Cool of them.

Say Yes to Michigan as you narrow this local/regional search. *We've enjoying local honey, why not mineral rock-dust?

took prompt from fromsome dude named 'subcool' a few yrs back and bought a tig ol bitty sack of Azomite. **I'd be nice to see an analysis similar to this for specifics within ea rock quarries products. There may be too much of a good thing within. i see azomite has arsenic. yum. i do like how the stuff is like powder, micronized. it's pink as well.

You could look for a local stone cutter or a monument maker. I had a custom limestone threshold made some years back and they use large wet saws. I'm sure they just throw out the rock dust they create.

Heh! I didn't post it because of the name. It's a rock supply company that has large quarry's of rocks .... which also means rock dusts. It couldn't hurt to give them a call. They're reasonably close to me so, ya know.

I was just talkin to a friend last night ......

"Man we need to go up north and buy ourselves a big ole pile of glacial deposits and grind em up. Could be worth millions with the current organic bubble"

Idk if their is any one in MI but the source is everywhere. We got unreal amounts of glacial deposits. Could make for some good shit! Hell one could check it for gemstones first too. Hmmmmm

I'll give them a call this AM and see what they do there. They sure have a lotta rocks as you say.

Side note: The big VT company has the stone processed into dust in Massachusetts. Also Morgan composting is looking to bring in mineral powders from outside MI. Gives me less hope of volume rock powders, but we'll see.

Still looking and this is a big deal to get into any soil including farms.

Man! Some great thinking going on here! I've been working on this and think I'll bring in a few pallets of the good stuff. Mineral powders and clay powders. I want what I want so I'll just get it. Then anyone who wants access can have it, too

It should be easier and cheaper to get the good stuff in MI. So I'm bringing it in. Maybe I'll sell it at farmers markets. The Biochar / Minerals / Clay mixed I think.

Have any of you guys used cascade minerals ?? The guy at the hydro shop by me gave me a big bag of it said they stopped selling it and he was tired of looking at it ? I read up on it and there isn't much of it with cannabis and it also has a super high ph ?? Sort of off topic but on topic sort of question . I live real close to a huge stone Corey . They sell all kinds of stuff but I'm not sure of exactly what you would want. I'm very new to organics.
