Any kind of faking and supplying exist in the present day of Yixing. Because good clays have gone but they have to sell them. Nowadays many poisonous things are done to purify the clay and Zhuni comes from Zhejiang, Hubei, Guangxi..everywhere!

I will ask for more info next time, but you are just a guy who said oxide powders are harmless! I just do not know how my backed up datas can satisfy your keen eye of judgement.
how condescending. you should sent your favourite zhuni pots for analysis to see if they contain any iron oxide in +2,+3 oxidation states.
