Improving Southwestern USA clay with Yixing properties?

I know that Yixing clay is unique and can't be replicated, but if I wanted to improve my local clay for making puerh teapots, where would I start?

Help ID one of my fav teapots?

This was one of my first teapots that I picked up about 20 years ago. Could anyone help me ID the maker, and find any other info about it? I've always loved its shape and use it for delicious sheng.

Re: FS: Random Modern Pots Yixing and one Nixing

I'd like to buy the Dragon Egg but there doesn't seem to be a way to contact you. Could you please DM me?

I might also be interested in the front/bottom right teapot, which one is that in the list?
