This clay is considered "self-tempered" because the right ratio of mica and sand is present in the clay pits. Cleaning clay is a multi-day process that begins with soaking the dry earth so that the clay can go into solution. I fill five-gallon buckets with water and raw earth and mix them by hand as the clay starts to hydrate.

Properties and uses. The mica group represents 37 phyllosilicate minerals that have a layered or platy texture. The commercially important micas are muscovite and phlogopite, which are used in a variety of applications. Mica's value is based on several of its unique physical properties. The crystalline structure of mica forms layers that can ...

The influence of Sn 4+ doping on the photoactivity inhibition and near infrared reflectance property of mica-titania pigments was investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that Sn 4+ doping promoted phase transformation from anatase to rutile. The rutile promoting effect of Sn 4+ can be ascribed to the distortion of the crystal …
