Not very? Verm is going to be shipped the same way anywhere, unprotected in a truck bed, and probably mashed up against some other shit.

If you get vermiculite as figgus describes...it's because someone's giving you the dregs of the bottom of a bag that s/he split up. That's the risk of buying pieced-out vermiculite anywhere, I'd wager.

Vermiculite are flakes of raw mica, which contain silicates of aluminum and iron, expand and form very light soft particles when heated at high temperatures. The result is Vermiculite. Take the fine grade; Vermi is more or less clean.

Please have a look on Vermiculite here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0HdSEB5kjNg

Good grow

Okay, unless I'm on shrooms, those videos hurt my eyes. Plus RogerRabbit, who's pretty damned devoted to this community, has his own Youtube videos that were prepared with an obviously huge amount of effort.

Can we at least kill the gaudy banner?

In keeping with the theme of the rest of this post, you aren't really answering the OP's question. You want coarse, not fine grade, vermiculite. Yes, it's formed by extreme high temperatures; additionally you'll be touching it prior to sterilization, so that doesn't really matter.
