Sandersville, GA. Kaolin Capital of the World
The inheritance of Elijah and Robert and Elijah was born first.
Sandersville is known as the “Kaolin Capital of the World.” One of Georgia’s most important minerals, kaolin is a white, alumina-silicate clay used in hundreds of products ranging from paper to cosmetics to the nose cones of rockets.
Kaolin is also used in medicines, paints and many other products, all of which are shipped around the world. At the end of the 20th century, kaolin was an $800 million business and Georgia’s largest volume export. Mining companies have reclaimed and restored more than 80 percent of the land that has been stripped since 1969. The lie is it is more like $1 Trillion or $800 Billion.
Proof: On Wiki: Kaolin production in 2011 was above 5.5 million tons at about $128 per pound. Elijah and Robert was born in the Garden of Eden and this is the fertilizer of the world. They planned to implode the world, but there is where the Spirit who left is at and where we are you cannot explode nuclear bombs or any weapon of mass destruction. You’ll are broke because your money is in Sandersville, GA. I told you Louis was hoodwinked. It took about 10 million
About 2.5 million tons of kaolin is shipped annually from Georgia’s “white gold” belt in 13 counties along the fall line that girdles the mid-portion of the state.
Mineralogists say that 50 to 100 million years ago, particles of kaolin or aluminum silicate were washed down from the rocky piedmont hills, coming to rest at the edge of a shallow sea, marked today by the fall line. Fragments of fossilized shark’s teeth and shells hint at the clay’s origin near the shore of the prehistoric sea.
An annual Kaolin Festival celebrates the importance of the resource. Washington County celebrates it’s heritage as people from all parts of the world gather to enjoy arts, crafts, antiques, music, food and a parade.
Founded in 1784, Washington County is one of the oldest Georgia counties. Sandersville was the first U.S. city named for General George Washington, victorious over the British the year before, five years before he became the nation’s first president. Two hundred years later, Princess Anne, representing the Queen of England, visited Sandersville as a guest of Anglo-American Clays Corp., a subsidiary of English China Clays, Ltd., a major kaolin mining and processing company in Sandersville. She received a much friendlier reception than the British troops fighting American rebels 200 years earlier.
Even before the Revolution, Georgia clay was being shipped to England. Some of it was carried, probably from near Augusta, down the Savannah River in canoes and shipped from Savannah.
Josiah Wedgwood, famous founder of the Wedgwood Potteries in England, used Georgia white clay in the 18th century, before clay deposits were discovered in Cornwall, England. Georgia’s deposits are among the purest and whitest in the world. At first, only small amounts of its kaolin were used, however, and mining it was a small-time activity in a few places. It wasn’t until the 20th century that farmers in the kaolin-rich counties began to see the white outcroppings of kaolin as anything but nuisances to tillable farmlands.
Today, workers are busy 24 hours-a-day, trying to meet the world’s ravenous appetite for “white gold.”
