That'll be an interesting ICP test. "tea colored" water will have a bunch of organics.
The mud seems complicating: I read the description
"Contains along with small amounts of Phosphates, Silicates and natural occurring Amino Acids and Vitamins the following:
Antimony, Beryllium, Bismuth, Cerium, Cesium, Copper, Dysprosium, Erbium, Europium, Gadolinium, Gallium, Germanium, Gold, Hafnium, Holmium, Indium, Iridium, Lutetium, Neodymium, Niobium, Osmium, Palladium, Platinum, Praseodymium, Rhenium, Rhodium, Ruthenium, Samarium, Scandium, Selenium, Tantalum, Tellurium, Terbium, Thulium, Thorium, Tungsten, Ytterbium, Yttrium, Zirconium"
...but I'd think a natural mud would contain a bunch of more common metals like Fe etc too. If it's not a "natural" mud, then what is the mud mostly? The organics it puts in the water might be complexing with metals as well.
If the RM method is supposed to be about stability and precision, then I don't get the mud part. But oh well.
