1. greensand

   Greensand is a type of sandstone, often greenish in color, that contains a significant amount of the mineral glauconite. This sedimentary rock formation is typically rich in iron, potassium, and other nutrients, making it a useful soil conditioner and a source of slow-release fertilizer in agriculture. Besides its agricultural uses, greensand is also used in water softening and for its filtrating and purifying properties.

1. Greensand

   Greensand or Green sand is either a sand or sandstone, which has a greenish color. This term is specifically applied to shallow marine sediment, that contains noticeable quantities of rounded greenish grains. These grains are called glauconies and consist of a mixture of mixed-layer clay minerals, such as smectite and glauconite mica. Greensand is also loosely applied to any glauconitic sediment.
