Aegirine

63 - 80 µ, dark green earth

Aegirine is a rare iron-containing silicate mineral prized for its deep, complex dark green earth tone. Named after Aegir, the Norse god of the ocean, this pigment delivers rich, authentic color with a distinctive needle-like particle structure that requires careful handling during processing. Sourced from premium deposits in Malawi, our aegirine features excellent crystal quality and consistent 63–80 µ particle size. The mineral's hardness and elongated prismatic form create unique working properties—ideal for artists seeking genuine earth pigments with historical depth and natural complexity. Perfect for watercolor, oil, and mixed media applications where authentic mineral pigments matter.
