Scope note
Solid nonmetallic mineral matter which, when ground, produces powder that can be used as paint pigment. If large quantities of paint are required, the stones are typically crushed using a paint pestle and mortar. For smaller quantities of paint, however, the stones can be dipped in water and rubbed in a paint dish from which the resulting pigment is captured by a paint brush.
