The Mineral: Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate’s History:

Originally used in making plaster adornments in homes of the Kings and Queens of Europe, the plaster workers would shake their smocks off in the green grass outside the building.  In a short time they noticed that the grass was significantly greener where they shook off the plaster than in the rest of the garden.  This was the catalyst for using Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate in agriculture.

Although Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate has been used for centuries in agriculture1, it has not been marketed  in the last 100 years or so.  Other minerals like Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium have taken the lead.  However, we are beginning to see the point of diminishing returns in these fertilizers – and significant damage to the soil because of their overuse. The next Green Revolution is  critical to our future.

EcoGEM, LLC has the largest high purity source of Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate in the western USA. 

Certified for organic use by OMRI, EcoGEM, LLC’s products can meet many of your agricultural needs at a lower cost.
