Description
A warm cinnamon colour that granulates to resemble rusted iron, DANIEL SMITH Mummy Bauxite combines powerful colour with visual texture. Mummy was a very popular organic pigment in the 18th and 19th centuries, rumoured to have been made from ground Egyptian mummies. The mineral's name comes from Les Beaux in southern France, where it was first identified in the 19th century. Our sources bring us Mummy Bauxite from Chitinskaya Province. Unlike the old world colour, DANIEL SMITH'S Mummy Bauxite is extremely lightfast, semi-transparent and low-staining. You get the tonal warmth and depth of traditional Mummy with the modern assurance that the colour is strong, stable and consistent. | ASTM Lightfastness Rating: Excellent Transparency: Semi-transparent Staining: Low-staining Granulating: Yes PrimaTek Colour |

Lovely colour on its own, and mixes beautifully too. Very happy to have added this to my palette.

After attending one of John Cogley's talks about his amazing Daniel Smith paints I was particularly fascinated by the Primatek range and ordered some including Mummy Bauxite. I have just started experimenting with it and others with magnetic properties. It's like starting a new journey. It granulates beautifully. I'm trying dropping other colours into it and getting stunning results. I'd like to say more when I've tried more experiments.
