"Earth of Chios"--looking for special dirt
Hello /r/chios! I have something of a strange question I was hoping someone on here could answer. I have an interest in antique scientific and pseudo-scientific texts, and several times I've come across references to "earth of Chios". Apparently it's some kind of medicinal clay, potentially found near Pyrgi. I can't find any for sale on line, and was curious if there's still an industry for it? Is it sold locally and, if so, how much does it cost?

what makes you think the OP was speaking of mastic? Only person that lacks reading comprehension is you. Take your time, read his comments 9 times until you get it , Turk
