Lapis Lazuli Greyish PB29 (Mineral) - Artist Grade Handmade Honey Based Watercolor Tube 15ml

PB29 CI#77007

History:
Natural ultramarine pigment made from ground lapis lazuli. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, it was the most expensive pigment available (gold being second) and was often reserved for depicting the robes of Angels or the Virgin Mary.

The greyish variety of lapis lazuli typically results from a higher concentration of calcite inclusions. While the blue color in lapis comes from the mineral lazurite, calcite appears as white or grey streaks throughout the stone.

Made from the mineral - Lapis Lazuli from Chile. No additional pigment was added.

Light Fastness: 8/8

!!Watercolor pigments are packaged in 20ml tubes for optimal storage and preservation!! Due to the absence of fillers in the watercolor medium, the binder and pigment naturally separate into distinct layers during storage. To obtain the pure mineral pigment, carefully express the binder layer that accumulates at the top of the tube, leaving the concentrated pigment material for your artistic applications.
