A black grey with great luster just like a black pearl. A lustrous and opalescent mica that adds the mysterious accent you might be looking for.

"Not your mom's charcoal - Sparkle, deep dark sparkle. I paired this with a ghost type swirl done in charcoal and the sparkle contrast is amazing."
—Kelly W. (verified)

If you are looking for deeper black, check out our Wicked black mica, or try some black iron oxide or activated hardwood charcoal (depending on your medium).

Best black mica!!

Used this in countless soaps!

I am so surprised with this color! I thought it would turn grey which is why I normally use black oxide, but I decided to chance it and boy am I glad I did! Make sure you follow the usage rate directions and you will have an amazing bar of soap!

Perfect black for my Frankenstein soap!

I used Andy The Money and Black Oyster for my Frankenstein soap. While the green was a bit darker than I thought it would be, the Black Oyster was perfect! MM you nailed it once again!

Love this black! I mix with a little black iron oxide and get a pretty shimmery black.
