This is now available for a very short time- there was a very lucky find in the warehouse as this has not been made for a few years now

What is on the site is the very last left anywhere in the world.

Please be aware the pigment is totally inert, is non-toxic but may not be easily shipped overseas. The size is actually the same as you can buy in any art store, so they fit in the hand 🙂 This is a staggeringly beautiful pigment that mimics natural shifting colours on beetles wings and mixes into any medium.

Holy WOW that is gorgeous stuff!

I managed to find a dupe, but it is not as vibrant as this. It is lovely, but when you see them side by side the dupe is every so slightly muted. So I recommend grabbing some if you have any plan on making anything to mimic beetle wings :) I was seriously looking at mixing some into a medium to turn false nails into beetle wings substitutes to make The Lady M. gown :)
There would me more than enough in a jar.

I'm assuming the pearlescent effect is ground mica flake? That should be quite easy to mimic locally - it's a common mineral in NZ, and it's also a common additive in most pearlescent nail polish pigments.

I know what mica is. I have been making my own paints for close to a decade now.

It's this particular colour.

Righto. I'd just got the impression from your earlier posts that a shipment had gone awry because someone had freaked at the ingredients list or something? Because I often act as a natural mineral pigment pusher to people, so if you needed mica sourced from within NZ, I can probably do that.
