Sam,

Red rock clay is terra cotta in color at cone 4 & dark brown at cone 6
(oxidation); the clay has a rich reddish brown body with a lot of
character, warmth and excellent working properties. Can be used for hand
and wheel work. 6% fine Kyanite; granular manganese adds dark specks to the
clay. You can obtain from Highwater Clays, Asheville, N.C. Telephone:
828-252-6033.
