Genuine Lapis Lazuli Ultramarine Gouache – 15 ml, Series 8
Handmade gemstone gouache • Opaque ultramarine blue • Vegan, non-toxic, artist grade
Our Lapis Lazuli Ultramarine Gouache (Series 8) is a rare, premium artist gouache made with 100% genuine Lapis Lazuli pigment—not synthetic ultramarine. Handcrafted in small batches, this 15 ml tube contains real lazurite from historic Afghan Lapis, finely milled and bound with pure gum arabic to create a richly opaque, matte ultramarine blue.
Unlike traditional watercolor, this gouache dries to a velvety, opaque finish while still revealing the gentle mineral character of natural Lapis. It is ideal for artists who want the depth and history of true ultramarine in a matte, illustration-friendly, camera-ready surface.

A Rare True Lapis Lazuli Gouache
Most “ultramarine blue” gouache on the market uses synthetic pigments. This tube contains real Lapis Lazuli, the same stone that created the ultramarine blues of Renaissance altarpieces and illuminated manuscripts. The result is a soft yet powerful blue, with a natural depth and quiet luminosity unique to genuine lazurite.

-
Creamy, controlled brush feel
