I was wracking what's left of my brain from my teenage years and recalled Kieselguhr being in plentiful natural supply on the beaches of Holland. That's what led me to believe it was some sort of sand. Fuller's Earth, then. As an aside, I recall there was a massive customs scam on the border between N. Ireland and the Republic of Ireland some time back in the 1980s. Some enterprising fellow had discovered that passing red diesel (for heating and agricultural purposes only) through a bed of Fuller's Earth removed the red die from it, enabling it to be sold on as road fuel at a massive profit. I think at one point the scammers were making 10,000 pounds a day from the difference in customs rates between red and white diesel in northern and southern Ireland.
