faithVA most resources I've read says this:
"Mined deep beneath the Atlas Mountains in Eastern Morocco, the Egyptian and Romans were first to use and document benefits of rhassoul clay. Other names for rhassoul clay include – ghassoul clay, red clay, red moroccan clay or oxide clay. The name rhassoul comes from the Arabic word “rassala,” which means “washing.” Romans used the clay in baths, which is a variation of how rhassoul clay is used present day in Turkish mud baths.
The mineral-rich clay is extracted from naturally occurring lakeside deposits in large clods, then it gets washed, sun-dried and micronized into a smooth powder although you can buy it in the cods and reconstitute with water. Rhassoul’s color is a light gray with a hue of oxidized pink, which gives the clay a pinkish undertone."
