Some Canadian potters (not me) are going to Las Vegas (nv) and Arizona in
the near future. They want to purchase cheaper cobalt and tin oxides in the
US.
Any addresses of ceramic suppliers in those two states?
good luck at the border with pounds of white stuff..........
Thank you

Hi There!
Before you purchase the cobalt and tin from the US, be sure to check with
customs. Some substances might not pass the inspections. I doubt you'll have
trouble, but it never hurts to check.

Greetings!
Tell your potter friends that if they are looking for a cheap supply of
cobalt, go to Cobalt Ontario where the stuff is all over the town. The one
drawback is that there is some arsenic mixed with it and it needs to be
roasted to drive it out. Tell them to wash hands after handling it.!! I
have used it and in its native state it produces a nice soft mottled blue
color. If you want to purify it, use a magnet on the ground powder. Cobalt
is attracted to the magnet. The native rocks are black tinged with purple. I
picked up about 100 pounds which for me is a lifetime supply.

Greetings
Tell your potter friends to get their cobalt in their backyard- in Cobalt
Ontario. The black tinged with puple rocks are everywhere. The stuff needs
to be roasted to drive off the arsenic though. After treating and grinding
it produces a beautiful mottled blue color. (there is also some silver in
the rocks.) If you want a purer form, use a magnet to attract the cobalt
from the slurry. It is strongly attracted. This will be as I understand it
much stronger than comercial cobalt so you will have to expriment to
determine how much to use.

The Marjon address in Las Vegas is no longer correct, they have recently moved
to North Las Vegas off of I-15 and Cheyenne. I believe their phone number is
still correct, if not they will be in the book. They have good freeway
access. Aardvark Clay is now one building over from the old Marjon address
which in turn is right next to the Coleman Clay Studio.
