Rublev Colours Pigment Volkonskoite - 10 g

Volkonskoite is a chromium-bearing mineral that is part of the smectite group, a clay mineral found in sandstones, conglomerates, and red beds, commonly filling voids from the decomposition of organic material. The largest deposit of volkonskoite is found in Mt. Efimiatsk and elsewhere in the Okhansk region, Middle Kama River area, Perm Basin, Ural Mountains, Russia. We get our pigment from mineral sources near the village of Efimiata in the Perm Basin. Its masstone varies from olive green to bright emerald green. Ours is a deep forest green edging towards an olive green. Usually, the mineral is free from impurities and is ready for use as a pigment without much preparation.

WARNING: Exercise care when using dry pigments. Do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid breathing dust. Use a NIOSH-certified dust respirator. Wash hands immediately after use. If the creation of dust is likely, wear protective clothing.
