Kaolin or China Clay is a hydrated aluminium silicate mineral formed over millions of years by hydrothermal decomposition of granite rocks; chemically represented as Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O.
Kaolin was first discovered in the hilly region of Jianxi Province in Southeastern China and derives its name from Chinese characters "Kao Ling" which means High Ridge.
In the 7th and the 8th centuries, the Chinese were the first to use Kaolin to make High Quality Porcelain. It was not until centuries later that the rest of the world could replicate the same.
