Ceramic Rocks?

I have access to alot of clay and a kiln. What do I need to look for as far as ingredients that are safe and not safe for a reef. I know the mix has no silica.

I am going to give it a shot and set upa 20 g to see how things go. I do not think I will put sand into it but it would be great if I could fill my 120 with nice rock forms from ceramics. I let my clay dry for at least 2 weeks before firing so it may be awhile.
