Fertilizer
Bone ash is a natural fertilizer and soil amendment. The two primary components, calcium and phosphorus, are essential nutrients for the growth and health of plants.
Due to its structure, the bone ash slowly releases these nutrients over time.

Pottery
Bone Ash is used as an ingredient in Pottery. The production of Bone Ash renders it chemically inert and free of organic material. In ceramics, bone ash (Ca3(PO4)2) is an important source of calcium phosphate. The calcium acts as a flux, while the phosphorous acts as a glass former. When added to a clay body such as bone China, bone ash lowers the maturing temperature and adds translucency.
Bone ash may also be used to give texture in low fire glazes. In low-fire glazes, bone ash acts as an opacifier, while in high-fire glazes it
can create translucence.
