Well, that's good, right? That means I can put a little more confidence in it being organic and acceptable.

What does Azomite help with besides bugs?

I'd say so, Oregon is super strict about organic cause of how many vegan hippies live there.

That's azamax, azomite is a volcanic rock dust, you use it to mineralize your soil.

I know all about it. My girl's mom lives out there. Fucking loved vacationing there to meet her.

AZOMITE® Trace Minerals
AZOMITE® is a natural product mined from an ancient mineral deposit in Utah (USA) that typically contains a broad spectrum of over 70 minerals and trace elements, distinct from any mineral deposit in the world. AZOMITE® is used internationally as a feed additive and a soil re-mineralizer for plants, and is available in over thirty countries throughout the world.

Only coz it's not registered, that don't mean anything

Azomite isn't volcanic rock dust

People are saying they cant get registered cause of excessive arsenic levels, idk just relaying what I read on Instagram.

yes it is
Azomite (pronounced ā-zō-mite, officially all-caps AZOMITE) is the registered trademark for a complex silica ore (hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate) with an elevated ratio of trace minerals unique to the Utah mineral deposit from which it is mined. When the ash from a volcanic eruption filled a nearby seabed an estimated 30 million years ago, the combination of seawater, fed by hundreds of mineral-rich rivers and the rare earth minerals present in the volcanic ash, created the deposit’s distinctive composition. Mineralogically described as rhyolitic tuff breccia, the geologic characteristic of its surface is referred to as an outcrop known as a hogback.[1]
From a volcano over 30 million years ago.

So it's like pumice, but with less sulfur, more silica?

It's in the quote you just copied and pasted, 'volcanic ash deposit', volcanic rock comes from the lava deposits

Well if you think Oregon is strict for organics, you wanna try getting accreditation in the UK, BT dunks are even barred here, if biobizz had too high levels of arsenic, there's no way it'd be on the shelves here

Volcanic ash consists of fragments of pulverized rock, minerals and volcanic glass, created during volcanic eruptions and measuring less than 2 mm (0.079 inches) in diameter.[1] The term volcanic ash is also often loosely used to refer to all explosive eruption products (correctly referred to as tephra), including particles larger than 2mm. Volcanic ash is formed during explosive volcanic eruptions when dissolved gases in magma expand and escape violently into the atmosphere. The force of the escaping gas shatters the magma and propels it into the atmosphere where it solidifies into fragments of volcanic rock and glass. Ash is also produced when magma comes into contact with water during phreatomagmatic eruptions, causing the water to explosively flash to steam leading to shattering of magma. Once in the air, ash is transported by wind up to thousands of kilometers away.
The ash is just super heated rocks that get pulverized. It is volcanic rock dust.

Oregon organic require a lab test to be sent in, all the requirements for registration are on that website I linked. Its only a 25$ yearly fee. They have very strict heavy metal requirements and if the tests are too high you cannot get registered.
