Oshenite® oolitic aragonite is a renewable resource

Oshenite® oolitic aragonite is a sustainable, naturally renewable source of precipitated calcium carbonate. This unique mineral, exclusively found on the Bahama bank is ultra 97-99 % pure, is continually produced as a phenomenon know as "whitings" and has physical characteristics unlike any mined or manufactured precipitated calcium carbonate.

Oshenite® is a modern carbon

The natural processes that create Oshenite® oolitic aragonite sequester CO2 constantly as it continually regenerates.This means its carbon footprint is much lower than traditional mined calcium carbonate whose carbon content was formed millions of years ago.

A replenishing phenomenon with vast reserves

The whitings precipitation forming the ultra-pure oolitic aragonite occurs only in the shallow turbulent waters of the Bahama Bank and not near coral reefs. It takes approximately a year for the oolite minerals to mature to harvesting size adding close to 20 million tons per year to the over 1 billion tons currently in reserve.

Optics research calculates that there are untold reserve amounts of oolitic aragonite deposits outside of the whitings area on the Greater Bahama Bank meaning that there is a constant supply of minerals and bio materials available to fuel the whitings phenonemon.

Ocean forces behind the phenomenon

The whitings phenomenon which creates Oshenite® oolitic aragonite happens just off the Bahaman Bank a juncture where howling ocean currents and high temperatures intersect with cooler ocean waters.
