Charcoal fire dust 1

Charcoal fire dust #1

Aka Chrysantemum #6

Source: Takeo Shimizu

55 Potassium Nitrate
33 Charcoal (airfloat)
7 Sulfur
5 SGRS (Dextrin can be substituted)

Preparation:

Shimizu says to wet to get KNO3 into charcoal. You can also ball mill for a few hours. After milling, I like to add a metal to make it even sparkier. 15% FeTi is nice - however, when you add in metal, you start getting close to other formulas - with the addition of +15 FeTi, Chrys #6 starts sounding like Blonde Streamer.
