Hi Jack,
I believe that others will also agree that in order for the rock dust to
be utilized by the microbes in CT or in the soil it must have a
a particle size that is compatible to the microbe size. I am
talking about its utilization as a nutrient sorce.
Paramagnetism is not well studied but the anedoctal evidence
is quite good and theory behind that is also quite accepted acceptable.
Paramagnetism correlates very well with soil fertility.
What is rock dust ? Basically any ground rock regardless its
paramagnetism
force. I have seen quite good rock dusts that have paramagnetism on the
low side
( 400 micro CGS) so that paramagnetism does not tell you the whole
picture.
Good nutrient profile is also something that you want to look at.
Using rock dust in CT machines that have a rotary pump can bring
additional problems
like the poweder wearing the pump.
Being “energized” does not mean anything to me. I am sure that very
little
people in Italy knows about the concept of paramagnetism so I am
positive
they are not refering to that when they say “energized”. Energized by
what ?
Paramagnetism is an inherent property of the matter. It cannot be
fabricated.
Books on Rock Dust :
- Breads from Stones – where everything started in Germany.
- Enlivened Rock powders – Harvey Lisle
- Paramagnetism – Dr Phil Callahan, PhD.

We have been buying a product from Italy for composting and for control
of ammonia smells in chicken houses which in addition to microlife,
contains an "energised" calcium sulphate and an "energised" quartz. It
works well but is very expensive. The suppliers English is poor and it
is very difficult to make out what exactly their claim is.
I have seen a couple of references to the use of rockdust from quarries
as an ingredient in CT. Jose & Tom, I think. Someone referred to its
paramagnetic qualities. My question to the group is what is "rockdust"
and what benefit does it give to the CT? Is the energy/magnetism
natural or "manufactured"? Where can I read more?
Possibly CT (presumably a different recipe) can be applied in animal
husbandry applications as well?
