Believed to have been developed in England at the turn of the 19th century but was discarded because of the large number of losses due to the high fluidity of the glaze.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe Crystals are formed by an interaction of minerals with silica (the glass former) and zinc (the flux). Crystal development occurs during the cooling cycle, with wide variety shape and sizes from the microcrystal to microcrystal which can be up to 75 mm across. The colours are derived from a variety of metal oxides : gold from iron, green from copper, pink from manganese as well as the elusive nickel the only mineral to give two separate colours : a blue crystal on a tan background.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eExplore our crystalline range of water purifiers today!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2018-08-13T17:03:22+10:00","alt":"Crystalline Ceramic Water Filters","width":2355,"height":1272,"src":"\/\/www.peterwallacepottery.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Cover_shot_water_filters.jpg?v=1666931107"}}]
