Gypsum is Nature’s very own plant super food. It increases and maintains plant health by providing them with large amounts of Calcium and Sulphur: two elements essential to plant growth. Gypsum is extracted from our open-air mine in Yzerfontein using a unique gypsum/water seperation process only.

Agricultural gypsum (reasonably well soluble, 0.26%), is particularly suitable as a low cost Ca source (calcium) and additional S-nutrition (sulfur). A high quality gypsum contains 22% Ca and 16% S, in the SO4 form.

There are a number of determining factors at hand when it comes to the purity of natural gypsum. The environment where the gypsum-pan appears, including rainfall plays an important role. Equally, certain ocean inflows land-in that washed back to the sea years prior, as well as the age of the pan.
