As the other reply said, these are mostly bentonite. Bentonite would be a poor choice. It is used because it soaks up a lot of water. This would greatly add to the drying time. It also is used to plug leaks in ponds and to seal wells. It is used for these because it swells up when it soaks up water. That also means that it shrinks and cracks when it dries.
