These two clays are essentially the same thing.
Calcium bentonite clay with more montmorillonite might be called Calcium Montmorillonite, but it is technically a calcium bentonite clay of the montmorillonite/smectite group.
Montmorillonite clays result from volcanic ash that was naturally deposited in seawater.
A more specific name for the Living Clay could be Green Desert Clay (since it is from a desert area and has a greenish hue), but it should not be confused with French Green Clay, which is an illite clay, not bentonite, and should not be taken internally.
The scientific classification / generic description is: Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminum Magnesium Silicate Hydroxide
Clear as mud, right?
