Lepidolite substitute?

Jul 05, 2004 4 Replies

Hey all,



I came across an old glaze recipe that I am interested in but it call for lepidolite. I can't find it from a retailer and understand the the mining of has stopped long ago. Anyone familiar with it? Anyone know of a substitute/work around? The ^6 recipe is:



Talc 44.5 Lepidolite 54.5 Bentonite 2.0


Thanks much,



Sarah



Lepidolite is a Lithium based Feldspar and is still available in the UK, so I think mining does continue.

If you go into Google and type in Lepidolite you will get a whole lot of information about this Lithium feldspar.
