When I first had my vision and learned about polyhalite, I knew I had to find out more. So, I started looking for information everywhere I could. On this page, I’ve put together some of the resources that helped me understand this incredible mineral better. You’ll find here a mix of expert opinions, scientific research, and stories about how polyhalite is being used in farming today.
I found this article that gives descriptions of many therapsids. As you look down through them, you will see that most of them lived during the Late Permian period. And there is plenty of info online about the plant life that flourished in the Late Permian period.
Interestingly enough, the Permian Period was coming to an end just as the polyhalite was being laid down at the bottom of the Zechstein Sea. So that the therapsid I saw in my vision was just before a great extinction, in fact they say it was the largest extinction in the history of the earth, 96% of all terrestrial species died. New studies also say that it was due to global warming. Talk about a coincidence! And I will never forget how, during my vision, there seemed to be an overwhelming feeling of purpose and care emanating from the Earth itself, spanning the eons to our time. As though just before one great period of terrestrial crisis, the Earth, in her wisdom, was laying down a resource for another such crisis far in the future. Coincidence? Many might say so, but for someone like me, who has had a vision, it seems more like part of an interconnected purpose extending through time and space.
Expert perspectives on polyhalite: In an interesting turn of events, even some experts from the synthetic fertilizer industry are recognizing polyhalite's tremendous potential, calling it "nothing short of miraculous." In the same article, this industry executive states,
"Fruits and vegetables nurtured by this mineral-rich fertilizer exhibit an unparalleled taste and are replete with essential nutrients, elevating their value in the eyes of consumers and farmers alike."
It's not every day you hear someone from a big fertilizer company talk about their work in such a personal, emotional way. I stumbled upon this video of an executive from the company mining polyhalite near Whitby. He states,
"I can’t wait for my kids, grandkids to be able to say, ‘Hey, my dad played a part in it’”
(i.e., introducing polyhalite as a sustainable solution in farming). This reminds me so much of my own vision, standing along the shore of the Zechstein Sea. It seems that mother nature is touching hearts and lives all around the world.
I came across a webpage from a company mining polyhalite, and it really got me thinking. They talk about this mineral with such affection, almost like they're describing a precious memory. They even mention the ancient Zechstein Sea and the idea of time travel. It's odd, isn't it? Usually, companies just talk about profits and efficiency, but here they are, getting quite philosophical about a fertilizer. This echoes so much of what I felt in my vision. It makes me wonder if, in the case of polyhaliite, this sense of connection to the past, this appreciation for nature's gifts, is starting to spread more widely. It certainly seem's like there's a growing realization of something very special about this ancient mineral.
I find it amazing how polyhalite seems to be bringing people together into a mindset for improving the world through responsible use of resources while protecting the environment and caring for communities. For example, in this video the CEO of the company that is now building what will be the largest polyhalite mine in the world (all underground, with absolute minimum surface infrastructure), talks about its commitment to a very low carbon footprint and to benefitting nearby communities. It is inspirational, and the link goes precisely to the moment where he begins to talk about this social commitment.
And the same CEO in this video says that he believes that polyhalite will become "the cornerstone" of his company's portfolio of businesses in the future. His company is an important player in the sector of copper, nickel, diamonds and platinum group metals, and he is predicting that polyhalite will be the the most important of all. Why? "It's something that the world absolutely needs," he says. Read the article!
Other information available online
Scientific Research and Studies: Delve into a collection of scientific papers that provide an in-depth analysis of polyhalite's composition, its benefits to crops, and its contribution to sustainable farming methods. Just search for "polyhalite'" and some other key word or words that interest you, like: "polyhalite sustainability"
Innovative Agriculture: Learn about the companies that are pioneering the use of polyhalite. Although I do not endorse specific entities, I recognize the innovative efforts to extract and utilize this mineral. One such project, slated for completion in 2027, exemplifies the forward-thinking approach to polyhalite mining. Another one has already started up operations, already beginning to supply the world with this organic and sustainable crop nutrient solution.
Market Development and Adoption: Understand the emerging market for polyhalite and the shifts in agricultural practices. Searching for key words involving markets, like "polyhalite market" will help you to learn more about this process of changing mindsets over from the use of conventional, synthetic fertlizers to sustainable organic crop nutrients like polyhalite.
Educational Videos: YouTube has many videos about polyhalite, ranging from the amazing story of the new innovative polyhalite mining project to how polyhalite works in organically and ecologically effective ways in the soil. And, while you are at it, have you heard about mycorrhizal fungi? YouTube has all sorts of videos about it, and unless you already know, you will be amazed to learn about the significant role these fungi play in plant growth. Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with the roots of many plant species, aiding their growth by improving nutrient uptake. Using organic, ecologically friendly crop nutrients like polyhalite allows the living soil to thrive, also giving the microbiota the important nutrition they need.
