Roaches would have a field day with that in the South.

Add some bug poison  :)

Sleek, I brought home some natural materials which are tailings from a mine in New Mexico.They are gold in color and I may have some maroon also. The material crumbles pretty easy and will stain your fingers. If you want a small amount I would be glad to send you some.

I bought one of those small coffee bean grinders at a yard sale and use that to turn it into a powder like substance.  The grinder can be used with softer materials such as turquoise also.

DC:
Do these pigments only appear in certain geology? For example, the ground around here is very iron rich but I don't think I've ever seen red ochre. Maybe they are in sedimentary country rather than volcanic?

Russ:
Jackcrafty has some videos on it
