Natural Pigment Powders from China
WARNING: While these pigments are natural, DO NOT INGEST OR INHALE them as this can be dangerous based on each stones' toxicity (read more about crystal toxicity), e.g. Cinnabar contains Mercury, Realgar contains Arsenic, Lapis Lazuli contains Aluminum, Malachite contains copper, etc. Wash hands after handling, be mindful to not touch your face if you have worked with the powders and use common sense as well as safety precautions and safety gear (gloves, masks, suits, etc) when using these powders.

These Natural Pigment Powders are from China, there are rich colors to choose from and they are sold in 50g bags. These are more suited for collectors.
In ancient Egypt, Cleopatra would line her palace walls with Lapis Lazuli for power and eternal life. Malachite was also known to be powdered to make cosmetics and it was a popular choice sometimes used for clairvoyance. It was also used as a pigment or paint for temples and statues.
In ancient Greece, soldiers would dip Hematite in water and rub it on their bodies to protect them during battle.
Forward to many years into our present time, we now know that some stones are toxic and should never be ingested or inhaled even though some were used as paint pigments in the past, like Realgar. It's always recommended to wash your hands after handling (e.g. with Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Cinnabar, Realgar, Hematite and any other toxic stone).
Here are a few metaphysical properties of the powders we have:
- Cinnabar: Cinnabar stimulates dignity, vitality and power. It can be very beneficial in the world of business and finance. Cinnabar helps to attract abundance.
- Hematite: Hematite helps to absorb negative energy and calms in times of stress or worry. This is a very protective stone and is great to carry to help you stay grounded in many situations. Hematite is also good for working with the Root Chakra, helping to transform negative energies into a more positive vibration. Those in relationships can benefit from the co-operation vibe coming from Hematite.
- Lapis Lazuli: Lapis Lazuli reminds us of the power of the spoken word and is one of the best stones to use when opening and balancing the Throat Chakra. It helps to foster full verbal expression, and clears problems caused by “swallowing your tongue”. Lapis encourages clear, truthful expression when sharing information with others, including an easier voicing/communication of anger.
- Malachite: Malachite is a stone of balance, abundance, manifestation and intention. It absorbs energy and draws emotions to the surface. Malachite clears and activates all Chakras, and is especially helpful in the stimulation of the Heart and Throat Chakras. An extremely powerful metaphysical stone, Malachite is often called the “stone of transformation” and is used for deep energy cleaning, bringing healing and positive transformation to the wearer.
- Clear Quartz: Extremely popular metaphysically, Clear Quartz is the most versatile healing stone among all crystals. Quartz is the most powerful healing stone of the mineral kingdom, able to work on any condition. Clear Quartz is known as the stone of power and amplifies any energy or intention. This master healer crystal protects against negativity, attunes to your higher self, and relieves pain.
- Realgar: Realgar is said to soothe emotional upsets and discomforts as well as calm and dispel anger. It was also known to attract more fortune and luck.
