Extract

Recent investigations into the mineralogical constitution of fireclays have revealed the presence of a micaceous mineral in all samples examined. Naturally-occurring clays may contain up to 30 % of this type of mineral, and exceptional concentrations have been found in the Yorkshire area. Tests on the purified mineral from this source have proved it to be a hydrous mica of an unusually large grain,size.
