Halloysite – a kaolin clay whose structure is that of a rolled up tube – is rapidly emerging as a raw material of the future. Currently, it commands prices ranging from $600 per ton for applications in fracking, to $3,000 per ton for specialized medical and cosmetic applications. But if you google the word “halloysite”, you will notice that the rate at which mostly scientific papers are being published with halloysite figuring prominently is increasing dramatically.
