Kaolin or china clay is a kind of rock that is rich in kaolinite. It’s one of the most common minerals on the planet and is mined and processed in many countries. It is a soft, earthy, usually white mineral, produced by the chemical weathering of aluminium silicate minerals like feldspar. In many parts of the world, it is coloured pink-orange-red by iron oxide, giving it a distinct rust hue. Lighter concentrations yield white, yellow or light orange colours.
