Liquid Marble

Doing this might cause particles to act as projectiles when a flame is used, depending on the composition. Also the marble doesn't really melt, but decomposes totally and irreversible.

Have you never heard of flux?

I did not apply heat or thermal flux on granite tile. Have only experienced it in firing or electric oven with this result:

>If you fire a granite tile it crumbles after firing as the

>When it cools it is worthless as a tile. Good glaze ingredient though.(flame)

>If you fire a marble tile it will be converted to quicklime and be lost.

Lyn's marble is different, but there is one character more in his reply - "a". And we two are talking about the same marble, not the glass toy?

I'd like if you share the flux story on marble. I am anxious to learn. Regards. D

I guess that you haven't heard of flux in smelting. A flux in this application is a lighter non-volatile material that floats on the top of the mineral or rock being smelted. The flux removes impurities and keeps oxygen from the liquefied ore.

Now the OP did not say a thing about getting the liquid to reconstitute as anything that resembles marble. So I informed the OP how hot one must get the rock, marble, to liquefy. The OP just said that a promotional video about product application existed and wanted to know how to make this undefined product. Applying anything as hot as 825° C will be a hazardous operation.

Now cultured marble is a man made composite stone that resembles marble and uses crushed piece of marble in its composition, but it is not marble. I believe that some geologists have fabricated tiny volumes of man made marble just to prove that we understand the metamorphosis that converts limestone to marble.

Hi Fred,

This indeed is new ground for me. I checked the link you provided. Thank you so much for sharing. D.

If that is what he wants, it is definitely the way to go.
