There seems to be individuals where nothing is their fault always someone
else's. They can really make you give up dealing with people in general.
Vermiculite is a expanded mica. From http://www.perlite.net "Perlite is a
expanded siliceous rock...This expansion process also creates one of
perlite's most distinguishing characteristics: its white color." Either or
both would be very nasty in a camera.
