No. If it is a fluid, it would not fit the requirement of a mineral in being a solid.
Maybe, bout to finds out!
There is really no set time on how long pottery need in the kiln. You just it to be at a certain temperature to get the effect like having it on low temperature to melt your glaze and some has to be on high to melt.
Kiln
There is raccu kiln, electrical kiln, and gas kiln.
As a thumb rule the kiln inclination is 3.5% of its length.
I would not suggest it. The oven elements will not get hot enough for kiln work. Since a kiln gets to the temperature of over 1400 degrees, the standard overn elements will not attain that temperature. Invest in standard kiln elements...and a good kiln thermostat.
An oxy acetylene torch is hot enough to melt quartz, which has a melting point of 4200 degrees F.

1400 degrees F for two hours, then 22 hours to slowly cool.
quartz
quartz
A combination of both. The clay minerals partially melt (physical), and react with each other and the oxygen in the kiln (chemical)
I would like to melt gold powder in a kiln and wonder if I need to add a thinner flux or would the gold pour out of the crucible on its own?
Lay it on it side and turn up the heat the bottle will melt naturally.
Yes, it changes to citrine, another type of quartz. (Citrine is yellow)
The sun Any extreme heat. Lava, fire, kiln, blowtorch (if the rock is soft enough.)
