shell white (pigment) (calcium carbonate white pigment, transparent white pigment, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: White pigment made of calcium carbonate derived from ground seashells, eggshells, or fish bones. Shell white is made by crushing, then boiling the shells. The calcium carbonate powder is then pulverized and dried to form a very pure, white pigment used for watercolors, especially in Japan. |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種以磨碎的貝殼、蛋殼或魚骨中之碳酸鈣製成的白色顏料。殼白的製作方法為壓碎殼骨後加以煮沸,所得之碳酸鈣粉末再經研磨及乾燥,即形成極純的白色顏料,用於水彩,在日本尤其常見。 |
Dutch ..... Wit pigment dat is gemaakt van calciumcarbonaat, oftewel schelpen. Wordt in de Japanse schilderkunst gebruikt als oppervlakteversiering. In het Nederlandse taalgebied wordt de term 'schelpwit' ook gebruikt voor de beste soort 'loodwit'. |
