Palette di Pietra | Genuine Gemstone Gouache Set

Six genuine gemstones, ground and mulled by hand into a single palette. This gouache set brings together six colours from our Demairo Colour Palette collection: three grades of Afghan lapis lazuli, genuine malachite, and two shades of jasper, each one 15ml and part of our Series 8 formulation. Every colour begins as raw mineral. There are no synthetic dyes, no fillers, and no shortcuts, just stone, ground to a fine pigment and bound with our in-house gum arabic, made vegan and free of animal-derived ingredients. The result is gouache with a depth and luminosity that manufactured pigments cannot match, and colour that stays true on the page for centuries, the way it has on manuscripts for a thousand years. This set was built with illuminators in mind. Tezhib work, manuscript illumination, and miniature painting all call for pigments with real body and light-reflecting character, and genuine gemstone gouache has been the material of choice for this kind of work since long before synthetic paint existed. Whether you're working on gold ground, laying in fine detail, or building up layered washes, these six colours give you a complete and historically grounded palette.
