There is no particular reason why a potter would need to know this BUT: the
geology department at the University of Wisconsin has quicktime movies of the
crystal structures of several common glaze ingredients - like albite, quartz,
spodumene, etc. It won't make your glazes better but I think it's really
neat. What more is necessary. http://geology.wisc.edu/class/g360/index.html
