Mocha Marble CG965 Jungle Gems™, Cone 06-6


ART IN A JAR!™

Cone 06 oxidation (first photo): Mocha Marble is a transparent brown base glaze with brown and blue crystals that melt/bloom. The first photograph shows the glaze when fired at the recommended low-range. 

Cone 6 oxidation (second photo): Base glaze lightens – crystals fade and melt. Enhanced mobility. Surface issues may occur. Please see the product notes about firing Jungle Gems™ Crystal Glazes at mid-range.

TIP: Jungle Gems™ were designed to fire to cone 06. Higher temperature firings will change the colors, and movement and flow WILL increase.

Mayco’s Jungle Gems™ Crystal Glazes transform in the kiln when the small pieces of glass frit burst into color and intricate patterns during the firing process. Artists use these beautiful glazes to add dramatic, colorful effects to their creations.

Unleash your creativity with Mayco’s Jungle Gems™ Crystal Glazes. These stunning glazes allow ceramic artists to add color and depth to their designs with ease. Use alone for stunning effects, in glaze combination blending with Stroke & Coats®, Foundations® or Cobblestones or simply as an accent to your design.

General Use

  • Crystal glazes were designed to mature at cone 06/05.
  • Shake the jar well and stir during the application process. Stir frequently as the crystals tend to settle in the jar due to their weight.
  • Apply two to three even coats to shelf cone 04 bisque with a fan brush, allow to dry between coats. We recommend a soft fan brush, such as CB-604 #4 or CB-618 #8 Soft Fan, for glaze application.
  • Re-distribution of crystals may be required during the final coat. Where you see the crystal on the piece, is where it will bloom.
  • Avoid heavy application of crystals at the bottom of ware as the crystals bloom and can adhere to the kiln shelves or stilts.
  • The crystals in the glaze will melt when fired, which may create a textured surface.
  • As that surface may be difficult to properly clean when it comes into contact with food, we recommend Jungle Gems™ Crystal Glazes to be used on decorative ware.

Jungle Gems™ Crystal Glazes have been formulated to mature at cone 06/05. However, they can be fired at higher temperatures. Their performance at cone 6 is noted on each individual product label. 

NOTE: Crystals tend to flow at higher temperatures so take care on vertical pieces. We recommend testing on your clay body and in your kiln prior to use.

Product Note

Jungle Gems ™ glazes are certified AP Non-Toxic, with the exception of:

  • CG-707 Woodland Fantasy
  • CG-713 Peacock Green, which requires a caution label, CL, due to soluble copper
  • CG-973 Alligator due to barium

Jungle Gems™ Crystal Glazes are recommended for ornamental use only when applied to low fire earthenware clay bodies. All but three Jungle Gems™ glazes have been certified as Non-Toxic, suitable for use by artists of all ages when used according to manufacturer’s directions. Jungle Gems™ are not recommended for dinnerware produced from low fire earthenware clay bodies as these glazes can exhibit surface textures such as cracks and crevices.

While the glazed surface may pass lead & cadmium leach tests, and therefore legally considered Food Safe, attempts to adequately clean the textured surface may cause the underlying porous ware to absorb water and fail. Jungle Gems™ glazes may be considered dinnerware safe if surface texture is eliminated when firing to mid-range or high fire temperatures.
