Gee Cheryl, that's a lot of cobalt, almost 9 percent! You could probably=3D=
20=3D

reduce it to 5% (or 13 in the recipe you've given) and not notice a diffe=
=3D
rence.=3D20
Be that as it may, the following may turn out more to your liking:

Fairview Blue modified (cone 5):
Whiting 25
Custer spar 105
Ball clay=3D0920
Flint 25
Magnesium carb 4
Gerstley borate 30
Cobalt carbonate 24

A percent (adding up to 100) version would be:
Whiting 11
Custer spar 45
Ball clay 9
Flint 11
Magnesium carb 2
Gerstley borate 13
Cobalt carbonate 9

Happy testing,
Don Goodrich
