First, let me thank everyone who provided information on potential sources of
lepidolite. I have finally given up the search. I know that spodumene can be
substituted for it, so, if someone would tell me in what amount I'd be
delighted to try it. Here's the recipe for a ^6 crater glaze:
Talc 43.5
Lepidolite 54.4
Bentonite 2.0
It came from the Illustrated Dictionary of Practical Pottery by Robert
Fournier. He cites CM 17/3 (Behrens).
As an alternative, I could just start from scratch with a cone 6 crater
glaze. Chappell only provides them up to cone 5. Perhaps someone has one to
share.
Again, many thanks for all the suggestions.
