Furthermore, its medium-sized particles provide excellent granulation. You'll be pleased to know that this umber is sourced from the last remaining European company operating the ochre deposits in the French quarries of Gargas and Rustrel, both of which are nestled in a 12-mile-long enclave in the heart of the Luberon Mountains - known for being the ochre country.
