Nicosia Green Earth is sourced from deposits in southeastern Cyprus, near the capital city of Nicosia. Derived from the minerals celadonite and glauconite, this cool green colour is useful in a variety of applications including portrait, landscape, and botanical paintings.

Artist Notes: Nicosia Green earth is a soft, subtle green that is wonderful in glazing applications.
