Cobalt Carbonate

Add 0.25% to 3% to produce light-to-very-dark blue tones. The colour itself can vary in blueness with different base glazes. The carbonate will be a better choice as it disperses better in glaze slurries. Like the oxide, the carbonate is an active melter in glazes and clay bodies/slurries.
