Miscellaneous
- Family: Ball Clay
- Region: North America
- Mined At: Unspecified
- Raw Mineral: No
- Generic: No
Notes
A fine grained secondary clay which fires to a light cream with 13% shrinkage at cone 10. This ball clay is considered to be very effective in salt firing and it is claimed that it works well in flashing (i.e. wood firing).
