I'd hope that the original poster has found an answer by now.
But just in case... if you need bentonite, buy a bag of plain unscented generic kitty litter.

Or go to Makoshika...
The Lakota name really means 'shitty place to be if it rains'.

Non clumping cat litter, or industrial "oil dri" absorbants
This 17 year old thread keeps oozing up to the top. I suspect the OP may be taking a dirt map by now.

Do not be fooled into getting a cheaper price with Calcium, Potassium, or Aluminum Bentonite. These alternatives will not swell to correct water leaks. Also, do not pay more for edible bentonite. You do not need it. Wilco Farm Stores are in my area, but any good farm store will do just fine. If you have a large project. Buy Sodium Bentonite Wholesale if you have an order of $300 or more from Teague Mineral Products Adrian, OR 97901 Phone: (541) 339-3940 with FREE Shipping. Note: Proper application of bentonite is needed for the best results. If in doubt ask how to apply bentonite before using it. It's simple and will save you from the chance of failure. Also, avoid using Kitty Litter. Many Kitty Litters have bentonite for clumping, but it is usually contaminated and of poor quality.
Or if you'd like to purchase a rail car full of bentonite, contact
If you want it for a detox bath, then you can get a pound of it for less than $6 online at a botanical shop of your choice; some have the food grade version for less than $3 per pound. Natural Grocers has it, but it's overpriced ($13 for 11 oz) and it's designed to be used as a facial scrub.
And as other people have pointed out, it is an ingredient in cat litter - but I wouldn't ingest that! If you want it in bulk (50 lbs or more), then try landscaping/nurseries, since it is used as a pond liner and as a fertilizer.
