Tripoli
Tripoli is the general name for soft, porous silica found in sedimentary rocks in Ottawa County and neighboring parts of Missouri and Arkansas. Primarily used as an abrasive, it is also used in concrete and as a paint filler. One company is at present responsible for the production in Oklahoma. The United States is self-sufficient in tripoli; much of the product is exported.
