I've been running across a lot of information on attapulgite clay and the proper storage of said clay. Clays are hydroscopic, so it is important to store them in a climate controlled environment. Clay should be packaged in a way that ensures the clay does not absorb moisture during transit or during short storage periods.
For on-site inventory, it's recommended to limit storage to 6 months for standard products and three months for specialty low moisture clays. Also try not to freeze and thaw the clay.
Care should be taken not to store the clay next to chemicals giving off evaporating compounds, as the clay readily absorbs certain vapors.
