Rublev Colours Pigment Luberon Raw Umber - 100 g

Obtained from natural earth colored by the oxides of iron and manganese, this raw umber is from the last remaining European companies operating the ochre deposits in the French quarries of Gargas and Rustrel, nestled in a 12-mile-long enclave in the heart of the Luberon Mountains.

Warning: Umber is considered non-toxic; however, manganese, a constituent of umber, is moderately toxic. Care should be exercised when handling the dry powder pigment so as not to inhale the dust.
