[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 228441, member: 2844"]Yes, Abdel, I had a feeling there was no American connection. Morocco has a rich ceramics tradition, and has been attractive to foreign artists for a long time. There could be a connection there. Could still be an American potter, but could also be Moroccan or any other nationality. There is of course iron ore in Morocco, it is a country rich in minerals. I don't know in which locations though. I have taken a quick look and saw that Beni Mellal/Ayt Mellal has a magnetic soil contamination problem. I don't know if there is a link there. I know from my interest in meteorites that Morocco is also meteorite country. If there are meteorite rocks, it is very likely that there is meteorite soil, which could also explain magnetism. I hope someone else can help you a bit further along, in the meantime I'll keep it in mind as well. This forum thrives on combined insights and efforts. If you edit your title to add the word magnetic, some 'metal people' may look as well.[/QUOTE]
