Hello Davis,Good question.  If you see the answer I gave Connor Baskin just a day or two ago that will help.  I told him that they are made of a mixture of the elements Ca, K, and Na.  There is a lot of oxygen mixed in there also.  You can also look on the MEVO site, but that may be too much information.
See you Thursday!
Mr. Wood
