I live in the High Weald area of Sussex which is well know for its clay. The clays in my garden are different colours; yellow, grey, white and even red/pink. Can anyone tell me whether this is due to the presence of a particular mineral (i.e is a specific mineral responsible of a specific colour of clay?)
