What clay looks like: Estonian clay from the Quarternary epoch.

Clay is a fine-grained mineral made of aluminium silicate. When wet, clay has a plastic quality, and can be used to make pottery.

Clay often contains some water because the water molecules stick to the tiny grains. There may also be some organic materials in the clay.
