A chiroplasma medium is conceptualized as a homogenized composite medium (H
CM) comprising a magnetically biased plasma and an isotropic chiral medium
as its components with the constituents envisioned in particulate form with
spherical geometry. We present numerical results which show that the HCM i
s fully bianisotropic, belonging to the class of Faraday chiral mediums. We
explore in detail the relationship between the structure of the HCM's cons
titutive dyadics and the properties of the constituent mediums. Finally, th
rough visualizing the chiral component medium as particulates of spheroidal
rather than spherical shape, a HCM with bianisotropic structure more compl
ex than a Faraday chiral medium is revealed.
