What is Pozzolan

The term Pozzolan is derived from the ancient term Pozzolana, which refers to a volcanic ash (finely divided siliceous and aluminous material) found on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius, adjacent to the small town of Pozzouli near the bay of Naples. The Lassenite Pozzolan deposit, which is primarily amorphous silica, originated 26 million years ago when nearby volcanoes erupted and the volcanic ash was deposited into freshwater lakes. These freshwater lakes contained large amounts of protozoa called diatoms. The skeleton of this tiny organism is extremely porous and adsorbent which allows for the efficient movement of air and water available to turf and plants.
