    TECHNO FILE Geology for Potters by Linda Bloomfield Clays and glazes are made of rocks and minerals from the earth. Minerals used by the ceramic industry are now widely available to potters and it is useful to know where they come from, their properties, as well as which materials can be substituted for others. Defining the Terms sill volcano Rock: An aggregate of minerals dike e.g. granite. Mineral: An inorganic substance basalt lava with an ordered atomic structure e.g. quartz. old sedimentary Magma: Molten rock. rocks Igneous: Rocks formed from cooled magma. Sedimentary: Rocks formed from deposited layers of sediment. Metamorphic: Rocks formed from 1 other rocks by pressure or heat. 1 Diagram of volcano, plutonic intrusion, sills, and dikes. Rocks Rocks can be classified into three types: igneous, metamorphic, and glaciers, rivers, and the wind and deposited in lakes and estuaries as sedimentary. The igneous rocks most useful to potters are felsic (yielding sediments. Sedimentary rocks include sandstone and limestone or chalk, feldspars and silica) which are found together with mica in rock aggregates which was built up from layers of fossil shells and plankton deposited such as granite. Mica is a lustrous, sheet silicate mineral, which forms thin, in warm Cretaceous seas over millions of years (creta is chalk in Latin). flat, hexagonal crystals. There are several types of mica, including silvery Embedded in the chalk are nodules of flint, thought to be derived from muscovite, dark biotite, and purple lepidolite. If the molten rock cools ancient siliceous sponges. Most clays are also sedimentary deposits, slowly deep beneath the earth’s surface, the crystal size will be large and composed of weathered granites and weathered shale.
