But "Ball Brothers Blue" and "Hemmingway Blue" is more aqua.<br /><br />A chemical analysis published in the Chicago Tribune:<br />"The silica content was least of those analyzed at 91.98 %. The sand was third highest in Alumina at 4.44%; very low in Ferric Oxide (iron) at .56%; highest of all in Calcium Oxide (lime) at 2.20%; and with only a trace of Magnesium Oxide.<br /><br />"With such a low percentage of iron, a high percentage of Alumina, and very little Magnesium to affect the color, it seems quite possible that this is the reason for the unique blue color of the glass products of both Hemingray Glass Co. and Ball Bros. Co. The high amount of lime (a flux), must have helped the glass batch to melt easier and at a lower temperature. This would make the sand very desirable to any glass-making operation."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03136565172514486168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-37533799692647184372013-04-12T07:55:20.516-04:002013-04-12T07:55:20.516-04:00Lol just found you site and found this funny.
