Magnetite, pigment - fine, Master Pigments, USA

Natural pigment suitable for icon painting (egg tempera),
oil painting and watercolor painting without additional grinding.

Magnetite, a natural magnet made of iron oxide and primary iron ore, boasts a matte black color with metallic luster and a hardness between 5.5 and 6 on the Mohs scale. It has been called this way since 1845 by Wilhelm Karl von Haidinger in honor of the town of Magnesia, Greece.

Black iron oxide, derived from magnetite, has enjoyed a long history of use as a pigment, offering a cool neutral tone that wets easily into various mediums and remains as non-greasy as carbon black. Master Pigments magnetite comes from deposits in Chile, South America, and represents the natural counterpart of Mars Black, an iron oxide pigment developed in the 20th century.

The preparation process involves numerous washing and grinding. The final product is a robust, transparent and fast-drying black pigment, ideal for various painting techniques and media.

The solid lime wood boards, purchased by me online from the well-stocked Dal Molin Carpentry, to carry out carving work, have an excellent quality/price ratio and are available in a vast number of formats... The packaging of the products sent was also very careful and received with very punctual delivery. Compliments!

I don't practice iconography, but I try my hand at chip carving. I searched high and low online looking for basswood boards to pursue my hobby, and I bought several from different suppliers. I've always spent a lot on cheap boards. One day I ended up, by chance, on the Dal Molin Carpentry website and a world opened up to me. Boards of all sizes, and even particular shapes... I ordered some to try and I have to say: FINALLY! Finally some high quality boards, well finished and at fair prices. I immediately added the site to my favorites, from which I plan to order often :) A thousand thanks!
