Quartz n clear white stone, is found abundant in this State. Quartz and spar arc Loth firm and durable, so hard as evt n to scratch glass and blunt tin* edge ofthe hardest file. These two stones arc first calcined Ly being exposed to a red heat, then sud denly immersed in Void water, which tenders them brittle and easy to pulver ize, then every impurity is rejected, ami they arc ground separately in a quartz or fchl-spar mortar, to an impalpable powder, after which they are mixed to- g, the, in proportion of about five parts fchl-spar to one of quartz. The color ing matter is then added and thoroughly ground, w hit I, may be so varied in qunl- itvas to eivc an endless variety of tints and shades. A great number ofinaterials have been J«ed for coloring, but lit present there is little mud beside plantina, titanium, co- b ill and uraimiiii, orange yellow, cobalt, a delicate sky-blue, and a lively and watery transparency. Gold is used for coloring artificial gums which are easily varied from a pale to a deep red. These materials, when thoroughly ground, mixed and colored, make a mass resembling very fine clay.
