MOONSTONE: Rabb Canyon, NM (Dust to Dust) (Por grosso)

The texture after polishing is exactly what I wanted — a bit of grit that catches the light differently than standard smooth stones. I've been grinding my own batch with the mortar and pestle, and the deep grey from Rabb Canyon has this subtle shimmer that photos don't quite capture.

I was really curious how the mortar and pestle processing would affect the pigment, and the slight texture in the polish finish gives it a genuinely earthy, natural feel. Mixed with a bit of medium, the color from Rabb Canyon is beautifully subtle and layered.

The texture from the mortar and pestle grinding is really something else, you can feel the tiny variations across the surface. I used it on a small canvas and the earthy red-brown tone has this warm depth that shifts in different light.
