Prehistoric Lower Colorado River Buff Ware pottery from the California  
Desert includes types laced with fine, golden, mica that Native American 
potters  say holds high temperatures and evenly distributes the heat. Some clays 
are rich  in mica and another family of prehistoric pottery, Tizon Brown 
Ware, appears to  simply include it because it is naturally mixed in some 
regional  deposits. Whether deliberately added or natural, the mica helps control 
the  heat.
