Mariscal, I think I would return the kiln and get your money back. You have gold spots over all those nice blue bottles!
Seriously, WOW, nice work, I love the gold crystals. Thanks for sharing.
So these are reduced on the cooling?

Hi thanks Serian and Tim, the kiln was free no money, the kiln was abandoned covered with a canva, outdoors
I paid 600 euros for restoration
Tim growth and reduction at the same time 1085º celsius 3,30 hours

Lovely Jose,
Does lepidolite affect crystal growth?

Jose, have you struck them yet? If you havent struck them.... then strike them to cone 018. it should push that dark blue to black. The crystals might get a little darker too though just heads up. Lovely work by the way. As always  G |

Hi Gordon And Greg
Gorndon lepidolite is good for the flow, if I use glazes with high content in rutile or titanium dioxide I usually use lepidolite, less crystals and more with a star shape
Also can get more brighter in titanium glazes, is very similar lithium,
Thanks Greg I will try it
I will share photos results thanks
Jose

Hi Jim Thanks, yes very intereting ang good for the crystals
When I use titanium glazes, Lepidolite is better than lithium,
With lithium in reductions in high temperature some problems appear, small craters in glaze, pores
with the lepidolite I dont had problems
Very interesting thanks Jim for the information

that is a good tip Jose, I frequently get that cratering in my rutile glazes ill try lepidolite instead of lithium carbonate
