Maya Blue Pre-Mix

$7.00

Called a "pre-Columbian nanotechnology," Maya blue (azul maya) is a unique bright azure pigment famously manufactured by ancient Mesoamericans. Although the method of manufacture was lost in Mexico, the pigment has since been reverse-engineered from extant historical examples. Modern day Maya blue is made by mixing indigo powder with absorbent clay and then heating the mixture to reach the desired shade.
