Chart showing the ratio of silica to alumina, divided by flux content, for various rocks.
Playing around with Glazy's UMF chart. I put various rocks on the chart, just to see how close they were to being functional glazes.

Bag of Gerstley borate
Map of the Gerstley mine, 80km from Las Vegas
Gerstley borate occasionally pops up for sale. The mine where it is sourced from closed in 2000, but there are still stockpiles out there. Getting more from the site would be an adventure for anyone determined enough.

They're vessel flutes, they produce sound when blown across the hole at the top.

Tiny pot on piece of malachite
Teeny ash glazed porcelain pot. Some of that malachite was included in the glaze, but the green colour doesn't really show as the glaze needs to be very thin on miniature pots.

Porcelain pot with celadon glaze
SiC celadon attempt 2. Added more water to get a thinner glaze, looks ok now. A few darker specs are from the silty clay I found.

I wonder if shrooms do the same thing to CEOs that ayahuasca does. I guess we're about to find out.

Trilobite bowl. Unfortunately cracked on the inner. The outer is decorated with a mix of hematite, azurite and clay, with the pattern scratched in.

I can't tell if this is malicious compliance or just stupid. Good job either way.
