Put it in the oven, on a sheet pan at 350oF for about 30 minutes. Let it cool in the oven. If you are planning on using it wet, take it to the moisture level you need and microwave following a good microwave tek.

vermiculite is usually sterile by itself it doesnt take much, try nuking for 3 mins, let it sit 3 mins then nuke for 3 more mins, or put it in the oven at 350 for 15 mins.
