Lapis Lazuli - Fra Angelico blue pigment

GREAT - BEST FRA ANGELICO pigment for our illuminated manuscripts. THANKS!!!!

After 2 years of research & trying multiple pigment suppliers like kr*m*r etc. I feel confident that Master Pigments are not only legit, but the best VALUE. This Fra Angelico was put under a microscope where tiny shards of lapis lazuli are plainly visible. When mulled, the feel of these tiny chips between glass are comparable to a gritty sand. It does not require much effort to blend into binder. The color is much more vibrant than ultramarine tar, even has a slight purplish hue. Amazing for glazing.

Purchased top grade lapis lazuli from a couple places and this Fra Angelico Blue is the best. Absolutely stunning blue. Used it for a background in egg tempera and with many thin glazes this blue creates an incredible deep translucent surface.

I am really enjoying discovering what I can do with this blue. Not cheap, but was in the medium range when compared with other suppliers. I have used it exclusively as a glaze for egg tempura, and the results are beautiful. Unlike any blue I have ever used. I was happily surprised to see how much pigment 10 grams turned out to be. It should last awhile.
