Sar-e-Sang Blue Collection – Genuine Lapis Lazuli Oil Paint Set (3 Colours)

Sar-e-Sang Blue Collection
Batch No. 1222
Genuine Lapis Lazuli Oil Paint Set

The Sar-e-Sang Blue Collection is a three-shade luxury oil paint set made exclusively from genuine Lapis Lazuli gemstone pigment, sourced from the historic Sar-e-Sang region of Badakhshan. For over 6,500 years, this legendary source has supplied the world’s most precious blue, shaping the history of art from ancient civilizations to Renaissance masterpieces.

This collection presents three blue oil paints, each refined from the same Lapis Lazuli stone. The differences in colour are created by separating and processing distinct mineral compositions within the stone, including varying proportions of lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. No dyes, synthetic pigments, or chemical alterations are used. Each shade is revealed through careful refinement, not modification.

Every paint in this set is hand-processed, traditionally refined, and slow-milled with artist-grade oil to preserve luminosity, depth, and archival performance. The result is a true gemstone oil paint collection designed for professional artists, conservators, and collectors who value authenticity and historical accuracy.

Why These Blues Exist Naturally

Lapis Lazuli is a complex gemstone composed primarily of lazurite, calcite, and trace minerals. The natural distribution of these components varies from stone to stone. By carefully separating and refining different grades of the same gemstone, we are able to reveal multiple authentic blues that have existed within Lapis Lazuli for centuries.

This collection does not invent new colours. It reveals what is already present within the stone.
