Ball clay is an extremely rare mineral found in very few places around the world. Ball Clay in kutch is widely popular among various industrial applications. There are vast deposits of Ball Clay in India. Ball clay is basically sedimentary in origin. Ancient rivers and streams wash kaolinite (formed from decomposed granite) from its parent rock. As the streams flowed from upland area they mixed with other clay minerals before settling in low-lying basins to form overlaying seams of ball clay.
