Sodalite Genuine - Sodalite Genuine, with its distinctive deep blue color, is one of the components of Lapis Lazuli and very rare. This blue is the finest quality and deepest blue that comes from both Greenland and the flanks of Italy's Mt. Vesuvius. In watercolor, the inky color of this semi-precious stone granulates as it dries, layering a blue-black textural surface on a smooth blue-gray undertone. Low staining, lightfast, and semi-transparent, Sodalite Genuine creates a three-dimensional quality as it dries.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface.
