Could someone please give me an idea about the different effects when using
granular rutile as opposed to miller or powdered rutile. I recently bought =
a
bag and discovered when I opened it that it was granular.
Thanks,

"Granular rutile", in my experience, is nothing like
powdered rutile. It is more closely related to Illmanite
than rutile, adding gold spots to a glaze rather than
coloring the glaze.
Since you have the bag, try experimenting with it
by adding it to your glazes. Start with very small amounts,
like .20% (two-tenths of one percent). This can be very
striking in a dark colbalt blue or black tenmoku glaze.

Granular rutile indeed makes speckles. Don't try to sieve it, it will be too bi
