	MONTMORILLONITE (Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminum Magnesium Silicate Hydroxide)
		Montmorillonite is a member of the general mineral group the clays.
		Another important use of montmorillonite is as an additive to soils and rocks.

	Montmorillonite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Montmorillonite, a member of the smectite family, is a 2:1 clay, meaning that it has 2 tetrahedral sheets sandwiching a central octahedral sheet.
		Hence, sodium montmorillonite has come to be used as the major constituent in non-explosive agents for splitting rock in natural stone quarries in order to limit the amount of waste, or for the demolition of concrete structures where the use of explosive charges is unacceptable.
		Montmorillonite was discovered in 1847 in Montmorillon in the Vienne prefecture of France, but is found in many locations world wide and known by other names.
