It gets its name from its striking coal-like appearance — deep black colour, angular shards, dense matte texture — though it is genuinely a mineral clay, not coal or charcoal. Each shard snaps cleanly into satisfying shards without dust, grit or stickiness, and the flavour is bright and mineral-forward: a slightly sour, zingy note finishing with a zesty, lemon-like lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Crunch Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crumbly, compact, soft, turns slushy when dampened, non-gritty, non-sticky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper tones, gasoline, dirt, mild rain, lemon-citrus finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrunch factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 – Medium-crisp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not separately specified in source data beyond the flavour notes above\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turns slushy when dampened\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sample (10-20g), 50g, 100g or 250g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Irregular chunks and crumbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry \u0026amp; region:\u003c\/strong\u003e 🇺🇸 United States, North America — Montana\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Natural Soft Coal Clay (no preservatives, additives, or colourings)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVendor \/ source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taste Montana (forager: Samantha Hokulani)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional clay origins:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foraged from mineral-rich Montana coal veins — a rare and texturally dynamic clay prized for its layered composition and distinctive earthy flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho is it for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pica and geophagia enthusiasts who enjoy a highly tactile, flavourful clay experience\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrunch level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 – Medium-crisp, a \"super-crunch\" clay per source copy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, matte, angular shards with a clean citrus-lemon lift\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASMR style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not specified in source data\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCustomer Quotes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePending\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTest Status\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTest status:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not specified in source data (no Test Status field present in this listing)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Sample size is currently sold out.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Disclaimer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarthy Crunch UK products are natural clay and chalk materials sold for \u003cstrong\u003esensory, hobbyist and ASMR use only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
