Primary minerals are original, directly formed during the crystallization of molten rock or magma, such as quartz and feldspar. Secondary minerals form through weathering and alteration of primary minerals, usually in the presence of water and air, such as clay minerals and various oxides.

How is the clay formed?

Its primary mineral is kaolinite; clay may be generally described as 40% aluminum oxide, 46% silicon oxide, and 14% water. There are two types of clays, primary and secondary. Primary clay is found in the same place as the rock from which it is derived-it has not been transported by water or glacier and thus has not mixed with other forms of sediment. Primary clay is heavy, dense, and pure. Secondary or sedimentary clay is formed of lighter sediment that is carried farther in water and deposited. This secondary clay, a mixture of sediment, is finer and lighter than primary clay. Varying additives give the clay different characteristics. Clay comes to a production potter in one of two forms-as a powder to which water must be added, or with water already added. Large factories purchase the clays in huge quantities as dry materials, making up the clay batch as needed each day.* http://www.madehow.com/Volume-4/Pottery.html
