		The kaolin confers plasticity on the paste and secures retention of form for the ware when exposed to the heat of the kiln, whilst the petuntse gives the translucency so characteristic of porcelain.
		Kaolin is a hydrous aluminium silicate, having the formula HiA^SijOg, or AUSiaOr^H^, but in common clay this silicate is largely mixed with impurities.
		The origin of kaolin may be traced to the alteration of certain aluminous silicates like feldspar, scapolite, beryl and topaz; but all large deposits of china-clay are due to the decomposition of feldspar, generally in granite, but sometimes in gneiss, pitchstone, andc.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Kaolin
		Kaolin in Georgia is generally found in a northeast to southwest band of deposits extending from Augusta to Macon to Columbus.
		Kaolin mining activities are restricted to near-surface (less than 150 meters) ore bodies that are 3 to 15 meters thick.
		Kaolin is often further modified from its natural state by chemical treatments, physical delaminating, and high temperature heating to more than 1000 degrees centigrade.

		Kaolin deposits in middle Georgia resulted from the erosion of deeply weathered crystalline rocks in the Piedmont Plateau, which were deposited along Georgia’s Fall Line.
		Kaolin is used in the production of medicines, ceramics, catalysts for petroleum refining, and extenders for fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides.
		After the kaolin is removed, the land is carefully reclaimed and restored by contouring and grading the surfaces to blend with the surrounding terrain.

	Kaolin Mining
		Kaolin is one of several types of clay, and is commonly referred to as China Clay or Paper Clay.
		Geologically, kaolin comes from decomposition of feldspar in soft, disintegrating granite, gneiss, and porphyritic rocks—granite rich in soda-feldspar yielding it in greatest abundance.
		The term kaolin is derived from the Chinese word "Kau-ling", meaning high ridge, having reference to the locality from which the richest supplies were obtained.
