| China clay occurs in the deposits in the
form of china clay rock, a mixture of up to 15 per cent
china clay and up to 10 per cent mica, and the remainder
being quartz. The clay itself varies considerably from
pit to pit. In some deposits, such as those at Blackpool,
Littlejohns and Goonbarrow, the clay is ideally suited
for the filling and coating of paper, while in other deposits,
such as Treviscoe and Wheal Remfry, the clay is best suited
for the making of ceramics. |
