Product Description

Lapis lazuli has been prized for its beauty, its mystical and healing properties, and its perfection as a pigment. Ancient civilizations believed that the veins of glittering pyrite found in the lapis were actual gold, driving up its value. The stone's expense today, as in the ancient world, results from its hardness, which makes extraction difficult, and it is only mined during the warmest months of the year. Mined in the mountains of South America, this gem-quality pigment is an opulent medieval blue. There is not a hint of gray in this paint, with a classic, concentrated blue that is extremely vibrant and light reflective (due to the irregular and angular shape of the pigment particles). A touch of golden pyrite found as an inclusion adds a delightful shimmer. The result, for painters, is an elegant, almost three-dimensional effect that is completely different from the predictable blue of synthetic ultramarine pigments. DANIEL SMITH Genuine Lapis Lazuli is at least 80% pure gem pigment suspended in a natural binder. In richness, prestige and historical precedent, there's nothing quite like it!

    Customers say

    Customers like the pigment, quality and opacity of the paint. For example, they mention it makes amazing glowing golden colors, it's semi-transparent rather than opaque and that it looks like gold leaf. Some appreciate appearance. That said, opinions are mixed on value and brightness.

    Customers like the pigment. They mention it has outstanding color, wonderful butery texture, and makes amazing glowing golden colors. Some say it's good for adding to titanium white for ultra highlights and excellent for flesh mixed with white.

    Color: Pearlescent, ShimmerVerified Purchase
    I see low ratings from some artists for Daniel Smith's oil paints and do not understand. Daniel Smith paints have some of the most beautiful pigments around. The pearlescent shimmer adds a soft sparkle with a pearlescent effect. It is perfect for light effects of water, windows, snow, gold effects on hair, dew, frost, or shimmer on flowers and leaves, hummingbirds wings, etc. You can create paint effects for race cars, motor cycles, etc. The possibilities are endless. Daniel Smith Paints are rich in color, can be made transparent for easy glazing, used pure from the tube, or thinned with the Daniel Smith medium. The Daniel Smith medium is the same binder as the binder used to make the paint. (This is why it makes the best medium for the paint.) It is a little on the higher side, but just as other good brands of oil paint: "You get what you pay for."

    4.0 out of 5 stars Seems to not be pure Lapis
    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2024
    Color: Lapis Lazuli GenuineVerified Purchase
    The color just doesn't have that mesmerizing quality that pure Lapis has. There is usually a fair amount of other minerals with pyrite, calcite, and others which tend to gray the color and make it less transparent. Some of those impurities apparently made it into this batch of paint as it just doesn't have the intensity, transparency, and depth that it should have.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Review system is confusing; this is a good product
    Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2014
    Color: Minnesota PipestoneVerified Purchase
    It can be VERY confusing that Amazon lumps in reviews for all the Daniel Smith paint products together, which is why you'll see reviews for lots of different colors, oils, acrylics, and watercolors, all on the same list. For example, I am writing this review for the 37ml Minnesota Pipestone oil paint, but you will see this among reviews for all the other Daniel smith products, too, resulting in a limp 3-star aggregate that doesn't really help.

    So for what it's worth, this oil paint is GOOD. The pipestone color is a deep rich red, almost an iron oxide red, that is very opaque. It mixes well, but is especially good for when you need a bold, deep red that can overlay the paints beneath it. It's also excellent as a signature paint, since the rich color isn't garish, so signing your paintings with Pipestone oil is attractive and clear.
