ʻO nā ʻāpana seramika maikaʻi, ʻike ʻia hoʻi he mau ʻāpana seramika. Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai nā helu ʻelima:
1. E nana i ke kala, ua like ke kala, aole like ole, aole keokeo.
2. E nānā i ka ʻōlinolino, ua kiʻekiʻe ka ʻōlinolino, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻōlinolino o ka ʻili.
3. E nānā i nā ʻaoʻao a me nā kihi, ʻo ka ʻili i ʻoki ʻia he ʻoi a me nā kihi, ʻaʻole ia e hana i kahi pila.
4. E nānā i ka lehu maʻiʻo, nā ʻāpana maikaʻi, ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o ka lehu.
5. Ke nānā aku nei i ka paʻakikī, hiki i ka paʻakikī paʻa aupuni o 7 Mohs, a kū i ka ʻōwili.
Ma hope o ka hohola ʻia ʻana ma luna o ke kaʻaahi, e maʻemaʻe loa a nani hoʻi ka hui seramika maikaʻi, me ka waihoʻoluʻu like, ʻaʻohe mae, a me ka ikaika kiʻekiʻe.
