Hematite Watercolor Paint, Size: Half Pan 1.5 Ml

Rublev Colours Hematite is a natural red iron oxide from the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The high iron content (over 80%) makes it a strong tinting pigment.

Natural red iron oxides are semi-opaque, absolutely permanent and have excellent covering power. They are strong absorbers of ultraviolet light. The best bluish shades are called Indian red; the yellowish shades, light red, English red, and Venetian red. Formerly there was much confusion in the nomenclature of the red oxides; the terms given here are those specified in the ASTM standard.
