A beautiful granulating pigment from South Africa, Sugilite is another standout in Daniel Smith's PrimaTek Mineral/Gemstone colour range. First found in 1944 and named for its Japanese discoverer, the rare opaque mineral ranges from grayish lavendar to pink to deep purple. Transparent as a watercolor pigment, it combines subtle fuchsia pink and warm gray in a single strongly textural colour. A wash of this colour settles with a slight iridescent grey sheen, while the pink rises to resemble the colour in an overcast dawn sky. It’s a great complement to golds, oranges and greens, including Quinacridone Gold and Sap Green.
