Sand particles are clearly visible, but a microscope must be used to see silt particles. An electron microscope is needed to see clay particles. In comparison to spheres we know and understand, a sand particle may be equivalent to a basketball; a silt particle to a golf ball; and a clay particle to the head of a pin.

Ball clay is a type of clay that is valued for its high plasticity and firing properties. It is composed primarily of kaolinite, mica, and quartz, with varying amounts of other minerals, depending on the region from which it is mined. The name "ball clay" comes from the fact that it has a fine particle size and forms a smooth, plastic mass when moist.Key …

Ball Clay. Ball clay is the most common type of secondary clay. They are much more plastic than kaolin because the particle size is much smaller. Ball clays are available with a wide range of plasticities (a product of varying particle sizes). They have higher iron content than kaolins so bodies made from them are not as white.

Ball Clay – is so named because it was first sold in England in the shape of a ball. It is a fine particle size plastic used to improve workability and plasticity. If not controlled, ball clay can cause shrinkage and cracking. It is also a source of Alumina in high temperature glazes (cone 8-13), and it helps to keep a glaze slip in suspension.
