Siliminite Silica Balls : It is a natural product

Source : River bed

Shape : Oval & round as possible

Surface : Smooth and free from sand particles

Hardness : 7% to 8% on Mho's scale

Colour : Snow White

Application : Used for pottery works, in glass industries, in ceramic industries as grinding media(dry and wet grinding both) & it is used for decoration purpose also.

Description : Flint pebble is a natural mineral usually oval in shape & confirm essentially to the formula SiO2 i.e. Silica Oxide. The structure is crypto crystalline.

Bulk Density : 2.7 to 2.9

Chemical Composition :

SiO2 - 95.0% to 98.0%

Al2O3 - 3.0% to 5.0%

Fe2O3 - Max Less than 0.5%

KNa2O - Max 1.5%

CaO + MgO - Max 1%

L.O.I. - Max 1%

and pebbles are free from biotite.

Size : As the pebbles are usually oval in shape to measure them, both the sides are taken for scaling and the sum total of both the side is divided by two.

For example : The bigger side is 5"

The smaller side is 3"

Therefore the size of a pebble will be (5+3)/2 = 4 inches.

Sizes available for grinding purpose : 0.5" to 8.0"

Sizes available for decoration purpose : 0.5" to 8.0" and above.

The size must be specified with the variation range of +-0.5" in your order, e.g. if you require the pebbles of size 2" it is assumed some pebbles of size 1.5" and 2.5" are also found in the lot.
