The smooth, soft chalk and strong colour pigments have always been recognised in Mercurius Blackboard Chalk. Pastel-like in application, the colours have a high coverage and are easily blended on the board. And the pigments are 100% Natural!
A Handy Tip from Experienced Black Board Artists:
For a deep charcoal black, use high-quality Willow Charcoal, to add colour accents use LYRA Polycrayon Soft Pastels available in packs of 12 or 24, for shading, the LYRA Polycrayon Grey Tones and for skin and nature tones, use the LYRA Polycrayon Brown Tones.
What makes Mercurius Chalk different?
Chalk is not an uncommon product, and will normally contain common ingredients including Calcium Carbonate, pigments, and fillers. Getting the right formula is what differentiates chalk!
Not all Calcium Carbonate is the same, and pigments come from a variety of sources - both natural and synthetic. Mercurius Chalk uses a high-quality form of Calcium Carbonate with quality all-natural pigments, limiting the need for additional fillers and creating all-natural chalk.
The result is high-quality, natural pigmented pastel chalk that answers the demands of the blackboard artist and meets all current worldwide safety certifications for child health and uses in the classroom!
