formula for fake barnard

Hello All,

Do any of you have the formula for replacement of Barnard slip that
you are willing to share?

I use Barnard in one particular shino glaze that gets a lot of
iridescence in wood firings, and it's getting scarce in the
catalogues. Does anyone know if it is still mined?

Thanks in advance,

P.S. Boy I sure hope the latest bout of weeping, wailing and gnashing
of teeth is over.

Hi All,

Thanks for the several responses on my request for a formula for fake
Barnard slip. I got two formulas and an offer of 25 pounds of the real
stuff. Clayart, you're alright.

best wishes,
