Ghost Violet Mica Powder - Beaver Dust Pigments

Ghost Violet Beaver Dust Pigment is a ghost mica powder designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. Unlike a standard violet or purple mica powder, Ghost Violet has a subtle light appearance on its own, but reveals a hidden violet effect when viewed at different angles or used with a dark base.

Watch: Ghost Violet Pigment Poured in Epoxy

See Ghost Violet Beaver Dust Pigment poured in epoxy so you can get a better feel for the colour shift, shimmer, and hidden violet effect before choosing it for your project.

Ghost Violet can be used on its own for a soft pearlescent shimmer, but it becomes much more dramatic when mixed with black pigment or poured over a black or dark background. This makes it a strong choice for epoxy pours, resin art, coasters, trays, river table accents, inlays, jewelry, keychains, candle making, soap making, and craft projects where you want a hidden violet shimmer instead of a standard flat purple colour.

Best Uses for Ghost Violet Mica Powder

• Epoxy resin art with hidden violet shimmer
• Black pigment blends, dark backgrounds, and ghost colour effects
• Coasters, trays, sample pours, jewelry, and small resin molds
• River tables, resin inlays, void fills, and woodworking accents
• Galaxy, night-sky, black-violet, pearl, and interference-style resin projects
• Candle making, soap making, and craft projects

How Ghost Violet Is Different

Ghost pigments are different from regular mica powder colours because the effect changes depending on the base colour, viewing angle, lighting, and amount used. Ghost Violet can look soft and pearlescent in lighter or clear resin, but when used with black pigment or over a black base, the violet effect becomes much more visible.

This makes Ghost Violet a useful pigment when you want a hidden colour effect, subtle shift, or more dimension than a standard violet mica powder. It works especially well in black-and-violet resin art, galaxy-style pours, dark coasters, jewelry, decorative trays, epoxy inlays, and sample pieces where the colour change can be seen as the piece moves in the light.

Why Beaver Dust Pigments Are Different

Beaver Dust Pigments are made with fine particles under 60 microns. This smaller particle size helps the pigment mix smoothly into epoxy and stay suspended while the resin cures, instead of settling to the bottom like some larger or heavier pigment particles can.

Ghost Violet is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a hidden violet effect in cured resin. Use it on its own for a softer pearl effect, or test it with Black Pearl Beaver Dust Pigment for a stronger dark-base colour shift.

Suggested Projects

• Black and ghost violet pours: Mix Ghost Violet with black pigment or use it over a black base to bring out the hidden violet shift.
• Galaxy-style resin art: Pair Ghost Violet with black pearl, silver pearl, white, blue, plum purple, dark purple, or clear epoxy for night-sky and cosmic-style resin effects.
• Coasters and sample pours: Use small silicone molds to test Ghost Violet on its own, over black, and blended with black pigment so you can compare the difference.
• Epoxy inlays and void fills: Add a subtle violet ghost shimmer to cracks, voids, carved details, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
• Jewelry and small castings: Use Ghost Violet in small resin molds where movement, angle, and lighting can show off the hidden colour effect.
• Custom pigment blends: Mix Ghost Violet with black pearl, white, silver pearl, plum purple, dark purple, blue, or clear epoxy to create custom pearl, violet, galaxy, black-purple, and interference-style effects.

How Much Pigment Should You Use?

A good starting point for Ghost Violet mica powder is approximately 1/8 teaspoon per 1 litre of epoxy for a medium level of transparency. You can adjust from there depending on the colour strength, shimmer, opacity, and final effect you want.

For ghost pigments, testing is especially important. Try a small sample in clear epoxy, another sample over a black base, and another sample mixed with black pigment so you can see how much the violet effect changes. Lighting, background colour, epoxy depth, and pigment amount can all change the final look.
