Star Blue Violet Beaver Dust Pigment is a sparkling blue-violet mica powder from our Star Series, designed for epoxy resin, resin art, woodworking projects, candles, soap making, and craft applications. This pigment creates a rich blue-purple shimmer with extra sparkle, making it a strong choice for projects where you want a bold colour with more depth, movement, and shine than a standard mica powder.
Use Star Blue Violet in epoxy pours, river tables, resin inlays, coasters, trays, charcuterie boards, decorative art, galaxy-inspired resin pieces, and handmade gifts. It can be used on its own for a blue-violet shimmer or blended with other Beaver Dust Pigments to create custom navy, violet, indigo, lavender, galaxy, or metallic-style effects.
Best Uses for Star Blue Violet Mica Powder
- Epoxy resin art and fluid pours
- River tables, resin inlays, and woodworking projects
- Galaxy, night sky, violet, blue, purple, and jewel-tone epoxy projects
- Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, and decorative accents
- Resin coasters, jewelry, keychains, and small craft projects
- Candle making, soap making, and general craft projects
Why Star Series Pigments Are Different
Star Series Beaver Dust Pigments are designed to create a stronger sparkling effect than a standard mica powder. Star Blue Violet gives epoxy and craft projects a deep blue-purple colour with added shimmer, making it useful when you want a pigment that feels bold, dimensional, and eye-catching.
This colour works well in clear epoxy, tinted resin, galaxy-style pours, darker backgrounds, lighter pearl blends, and natural wood projects. Testing a small sample first is the best way to see how the blue-violet tone, shimmer, and transparency will look in your exact resin, wax, soap base, coating, or craft material.
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.
Star Blue Violet is especially useful when you want shimmer, movement, and a colour that sits between blue and purple. Use a small amount for a more transparent blue-violet shimmer or add more pigment for a stronger, more saturated effect.
Suggested Projects
- Blue-violet epoxy pours: Use Star Blue Violet on its own for rich blue-purple resin projects with a sparkling finish.
- Galaxy resin art: Pair with black, white, silver, blue, violet, or colour shift pigments for space-inspired resin effects.
- River tables and epoxy inlays: Add blue-violet shimmer to cracks, voids, rivers, logos, and decorative woodworking accents.
- Charcuterie boards and trays: Create unique blue-purple epoxy accents in handmade serving pieces and gift projects.
- Custom pigment blends: Mix with white, blue, violet, black, silver, or pink tones to create custom indigo, lavender, navy, and pearl-style effects.
- Candles and soap: Test in your own wax or soap base to confirm the final colour, shimmer, and performance.
How Much Pigment Should You Use?
A good starting point for Star Blue 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, opacity, shimmer, and final effect you want.
For smaller batches, start with a small amount, mix thoroughly, and add more gradually. Mica powder can look different depending on lighting, background colour, epoxy depth, and the amount used, so testing a sample is recommended before committing to a larger project.
