No. Ceramic is the word used to describe an earthenware product. Earthenware (pots, bowls, jugs, ect) is generally made from clay, although there are other materials with similar properties. In more advanced technology, the word ceramic is more widely used and does not always refer to a product made from such materials. In such technology, "Ceramic" often means a composite of polymers. The "tiles" on the space shuttle, which stop it from overheating when it re-enters the earths atmosphere are "ceramic", but that does not mean they are made from clay. Clay, itself is not a mineral per-se`, but rather it is COMPOSED of minerals.
microcline is the answer
Feldspar
The mineral commonly used in glass and ceramics is called silica. Silica is a key ingredient in these materials due to its high melting point and ability to form strong bonds with other elements. It helps provide strength and durability to glass and ceramic products.
Mineral sands are primarily used for producing titanium dioxide, which is a key ingredient in paints, plastics, and paper. They are also used in the production of zirconium and other industrial minerals for applications in ceramics, electronics, and casting molds.
Ceramics can be either natural or synthetic. Natural ceramics are derived from naturally occurring minerals and substances, while synthetic ceramics are produced through controlled processes using raw materials such as oxides, carbides, and nitrides. Synthetic ceramics are common in applications where specific properties are required.

Orthoclase is a common mineral and a member of the potassium feldspar group. It is used in the manufacture of glass and ceramics. One type is the moonstone gemstone.
A white mineral in some alkaline salt deposits, used in making glass and ceramics, as a metallurgical flux, and as an antiseptic.
