I have been making porcelain, and i was using regular bentonite, and noticed dark specks in the clay after firing , wo i decided to mix three grams up in to one cup of water and stir it for three days off and on but what i found out was after i poorer it into my clay test all the heavy junk settled and never made it into my clay body- so now i know this stuff is not so refined not that it can't do the job, I am just going to have to wash it real thin and let the junk settle you can see the black grit in the bottom of the cup
