See: http://www.crest.org/discussiongroups/resources/stoves/Boyt/ceramics/ceramics1.html You could spend a lifetime studying clay and its uses. Clay is basically the stuff in dirt that is non-organic, and not sand and rocks. It is always associated with water, but dried-up lakes and streams are the best sources.

But some clay as polymer and modlying clay is made out of chemical h2o and rubber.
