Amazonite Genuine S2 Daniel Smith Watercolour 15ml

DANIEL SMITH has acquired a unique supply of the precious mineral Amazonite from Brazil. It’s a strong pure colour that is completely transparent, non-staining and lifts easily for maximum versatility. Gorgeous by itself, Amazonite Genuine is an especially beautiful mixer with reds making gorgeous violets! Natural Amazonite Genuine provides all the magic of the hills and forests of Brazil. This lovely teal shade of feldspar microcline, a precious mineral, was named for the Amazon River and was used in ancient times as war paint by fierce female warriors. In addition, legends state that when you wear a piece of Amazonite you will harmonize your soul and be attuned to the spiritual dimension. Small carvings of Amazonite were tucked into a baby’s bunting to sooth and pacify. A shared piece of this lovely teal mineral was believed to enhance and further unite the union of soul mates.
