Cobalt Carbonate
Used as a glaze colorant and for decoration. Dry powder color is pink, but produces blues under all conditions. Not quite as concentrated as cobalt oxide, gives softer blues. Finer particle size avoids speckling. |

Cryolite (Kryolith)
Sodium aluminum fluoride can be used as a source of insoluble soda flux, but fluoride may bubble through glazes, causing pinholing. May be used in small percentages as a flux in low-temperature clay bodies. Gives off poisonous fluoride gas during firing. |
