Out 10 Stops - Stop # 3

Kaolinite is a clay mineral found in Georgia that is the main substance that makes up the kaolin rock. Kaolin is used for many things, such as porcelain, medicine, ceramics, paper, make-up, smoking pipes and light bulbs.

The kaolin rock is usually white, beige or light brown in color. But colors can range from reds to blues or dark browns. Color tints are also commonly found from mineral impurities.
