British Columbia: use of paramagnetic soil in fertilizer

Hello,
A nursery here on southern Vancouver Island promoted a spring fertilizer for mature roses that is comprised of 1 cup alfalfa meal, 1/4 cup of bone meal, 1/4 cup magnesium sulphate and 2 tbsp of paramagnetic (mineral?) soil. The first three ingredients are common enough, however the nursery in question was the only one selling the paramagnetic supplement. My question: is paramagnetic soil a viable ingredient; if so, why is it so hard to find? If not, what's the rationale for using it?
Thanks

 

Hello

I think they mean a glacial rock dust

There is a theory that adding paramagnetic minerals promotes plant growth somehow. The theory does not seem to be scientifically well supported. (Paramagnetic means that something can be attracted by magnets.)

My thanks to both of you for taking the time to respond.
