How it all began

In early 1981 some stone material was being used to surface a loose-chipping roadway being built in a forest, which, as it soon turned out, had some special properties. The dust caused by spreading the stone chips on the road settled on the surrounding ground and trees. Some heavy rainfall helped to wash this dust down into the ground. A couple of sick pine trees which had already been marked for felling turned green again. Mr Robert Schindele Senior was initially amazed by this and looked for a scientific explanation, which he found thanks to an analysis of the stones: the minerals in the mineral rocks were responsible for turning the pine trees green again. Through some experiments carried out by one of the scientists on himself, the effect of the minerals on the human body was also determined.

The raw material is dug out purely mechanically using a bulldozer (no explosives) and broken down and milled according to the lunar calendar. The finely milled minerals (95% below 90µ) are then filled directly from the silo, without the addition of any other ingredients, into tins or vegetarian capsules. “Schindele’s Mineralien™” are a purely natural product and therefore are also subject to minor naturally occurring variations in their contents.

The Deposit

The mineral deposit for “Schindele’s Mineralien™” is a volcanic plug of amphibolite facies metamorphic paragneiss, created due to a crack in the earth’s surface. The exact composition found there is not found anywhere else in the world.

As well as the mineral content, the solubility of the minerals, or their transformation into other minerals involving the release of particular atoms and molecules, is vital to the efficacy of the stone powder.

It contains minerals such as silicon, potassium, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus and aluminium as well as metallic trace elements such as manganese, zinc, boron, vanadium, copper, chrome, cobalt, nickel, titanium, niobium, molybdenum, silver, selenium etc.
