Hello From Yucca Valley!
I'm looking for a source which has Lepidolite. This is a glaze mineral that
has disappeared, possibly because it's no longer profitable to mine it
commercially, and/or the political unrest in Central and South America, where
this mineral is found, has made exportation difficult.
I've been substituting lepidolite with spodumine or other minerals, but one
glaze recipie I used to make with lepidolite just isn't the same with
substituted minerals. Perhaps lepidolite has "bitten the dust" like Albany
Slip clay, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for a source of this mineral.
Thanks for your help!
