Wallace,
Here is the Oribe (emerald shiny green) recipe that I said I
would post. I use it on a light gray stoneware, firing in reduction to
cone 9 or 10. Sometimes the glaze can flash reddish pink or get a
bluish tint depending on thickness and other firing factors. The glaze
has nice depth and I sometimes spray ash glazes over it to add more
color and fluidity. Good luck!

Oribe Cone 9-10
Bone ash 1.1
Talc 7.8
Whiting 22.4
Potash Feldspar 30.9
EPK kaolin 12.5
flint 25.3
+copper carbonate 5.5%

Regards,
Fred Herbst
