Buenos Dias:

I've been meaning to send this for a bit.

I talked to Christie at Georgies Ceramic and Clay Co. in Portland, Or. about
the new boron product, Cadycal 100. Some of you probably remember that the
analysis only added up to 77.95% and there was no Loss on Ignition given etc.

Anyway, Christie didn't have much to add, only that Cadycal is a real new
product but has shown promise as being much more reliable than Gerstley
Borate or Colemanite. It is being mined in California by The Feldspar Corp.
Their website is and their e-mail address is
, and their fax # is (770)392-8670. Those interested can
hopefully obtain more details on the material by making contact with the Co.

adios, Craig Martell-Oregon

Hi Graig,

I sent them an email about 8 days ago and nothing back yet - very strange -
are you sure you are not making all this up?
