The Sinoper of the Ancient World Hematite pigment Hematite is native iron oxide earth and the principle coloring agent in such as red ochres as Indian Red, Venetian Red, etc. These pigments are basically hematite associated with varying proportions of other minerals such as clay, chalk and silica. They differ from yellow and brown ochres by not containing water. In other words, the iron to which they owe their color is ferric oxide not hydrated ferric oxide as found in yellow ochre Nature, Ideal Husband, Red Ochre, Iron Ore, Color Meanings, Yellow Ochre, Mineral Pigments, Illuminated Manuscript, Natural Minerals

Red ochre, Fe 2O 3, which takes its reddish color from the mineral hematite, an anhydrous iron oxide.  It is mined from hills in the African Sahara desert, and, mixed with fat, it is worn on the face, or entire body, for festivals (the Fulbe people), or even daily life (the Himba people).  The ancient Egyptians mined it from hills in the Western Libyan desert.

Washington-based artist and researcher Heidi Gustafson forages, processes, and catalogs natural mineral samples for the Early Futures Ochre Archive. Ranging in color based on its elemental structure, ochre is crushed into a powder and used in various applications from art to medicine. With over 550 samples, Gustafson’s ever-growing archive has become a collaborative project with contributions from archaeologists, scientists, and creatives from around the world. As each sample enters the…
