Notes

This is essentially a raw glaze which gives small crystals on a very tactile surface. It accepts most colorants easily (with the exception of nickel and chrome) but does not appear to work well with more than 3% of any carbonate or 2% of any oxide in tests I've run so far.

Mechanisms

Glaze Crystallization	This glaze produces acicular crystals on a matte surface with a lovely and very touchable texture which, when glaze is applied thickly, tends to sparkle.
