After the Libby Montana mine was closed down there was another source found in the Carolinas which has since been depleted. Most of the vermiculite we have been using has been imported from Algeria but because of the political unrest there imports have been curtailed. Unless a new source is found there will be no more vermiculite or a very limited supply which will be more expensive.

Go into any 1950's house and scoop the vermiculite out of the attic.
You will find buck after bucket full up there. Fair warning: Some
asbestos naturally occurs within.
