The Name Was First Used By The Pioneer 'Thomas Jefferson Clark'
To Describe A Mineral Deposit That He Discovered Back in 1920

Thomas Jefferson Clark discovered a unique deposit of minerals in a pre-historic valley in Utah that were believed to be the remains of an ancient rain forest. Geologists say the rain forest was rapidly buried 60-120 million years ago, by rising flood waters.

Sand, clay & silt had shielded the plants with an impervious barrier that protected them from the elements.

Clark believed he had found the source of a legend that was thousands of years old. Indians who befriended him, had told him of a 'sacred spring', with great healing powers, that had dried up 100-200 years earlier.

Many years of hard life as a rancher had taken its toll and Clark's health began to fail. No longer able to remain in the saddle or maintain his ranch, Clark is desperate for a cure. Plagued with severe fatigue, abdominal pain and a major loss of appetite, he has been reduced to 97 pounds. The nearest doctor is a day and a half's ride away and Clark was not expected to survive.

In desperation, he decided to recreate the legendary 'Sacred Spring' waters by using purified water to 'leach' the minerals from the ore samples he had collected. He began to drink his formulation and finally regained his health.

Word spread about Clark's recovery and people flocked to get his amazing minerals. In 1926, he began to sell his "colloidal minerals" and since then they have been enjoyed by people the world over.
