Diatomite dutse ne mai siliceous sedimentary, wanda galibi ya ƙunshi ragowar tsoffin diatoms. Sinadarin sa galibi SiO2 ne, wanda ke ɗauke da ƙaramin adadin Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, K2O, Na2O, P2O5 da kuma kwayoyin halitta. Sinadarin ma'adinai na diatomite galibi opal ne da nau'ikansa, sai kuma ma'adanai na yumbu - hydromica, kaolinite da tarkacen ma'adanai. Ɓarnar ma'adanai sun haɗa da Shi Ying, feldspar, biotite da kwayoyin halitta. Abubuwan da ke cikin kwayoyin halitta sun kama daga alamarsu zuwa sama da 30%. Diatomite fari ne, fari ne mai launin toka, launin toka da launin ruwan kasa mai haske, kuma yana da kyawawan halaye, sassauƙa, haske, mai rami, mai sha da kuma masu shiga cikin ruwa.
