Glad to see that. Seriously, is there any chance I could get 50 or so
grams of that fine white dust from the towers?

Many times. Do you have have a clue why the results are so different?

Same here. Why is that so?

Any idea what the book is called is German? I'd like to locate it. Is it
of interest for gum printers?
Speaking of books, I am desperately looking for this book:
A.W. Thomas -- Color from the Earth: The Preparation and Use of Native
Earth Pigments, 1980.
I've tried bookshops and antiquariats. No luck so far. But I'd really
like to read that.
