I'm having trouble finding suppliers who carry amblygonite and lepidolite,
both showing up in a number of glazes in the Richard Behrens book. Anyone
know of a source for these?

I've been told by numerous suppliers that the mines for lepidolite have been
depleted and it is no longer available. Lithium carbonate can be substituted
but will have some effect on the outcome.
