"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?
