Dan -

As a geologist i attempted several times to find anything serious on
petrology of Yixing clayey sandstone (zisha), but to no avail. My
understanding that it is a very unique eposit of ancient lakes situated on
top of glaciers where very well-rounded and uniformal quartz and was
interlayered with fine clays probably of volcanic origin (weathered
basalts?). have you seen any geological references on this subject? I would
prefer English (French or Russian, all the same) because my geological
Chinese is awful. But if there is no other, I would take the Chinese refs.

Thanks a million.

Also, Mike Petro sent me a message from you that never regsitered on my news
server (I am investigating this)
Here it is:
Hello folks,
I had no idea my post would generate this much response so I will try
to answer it all here. First of all there is one glaring error (my
fault) I will address up front. I enjoyed Sashas' comment espeacially.
The word that goes in there is "recieve". Also, my wife, XiaoLing,
wants to know how you know that Sasha? I say that because the basic
chemical elements undergo specific changes and behave in specific ways
with the proper heating, reheating, etcetera.
.................................................. ......

I have no idea what comment of mine you are talking about (thread? date?). I
will gladly answer your wife's question the moment I understand what is it
all about.

Sasha.
