Malachite Green Oil Paint

Description

Malachite is our exquisitely hand crafted oil paint made with an extremely concentrated, high quality single source pigment. Every tube is meticulously hand mulled, filled, and labeled, using pure cold pressed walnut oil (linseed oil available upon request), less than 1% fumed silica as a stabilizer, and food grade lecithin as a natural wetting agent. Every paint is single pigment with maximum concentration and no fillers or extenders.

Stone Malachite is a handmade natural green pigment prepared from genuine malachite, a basic copper carbonate mineral (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂) that is carefully selected, crushed, and levigated. It produces a rich, medium green with a cool, slightly blue leaning undertone and a distinctly mineral, crystalline masstone. In lighter applications it appears as a delicate jade or celadon green; in heavier applications it becomes an opaque, gem like green with visible grain and sparkle, especially when coarser particle sizes are used. Compared to synthetic greens, Stone Malachite is softer, more complex, and inherently granular, with a texture that recalls stone, patina, and aged fresco rather than flat, uniform color.
