Here's a new project I've been experimenting with - Science Bears or Forbidden Bears! For collecting NOT consumption.

These bears resemble gummy bears to scale but contain epoxy cast with unique materials that represent various elements and minerals.

This listing is for one Science Bear containing the historical and scientifically indestructible pigment, Maya Blue.

"Maya Blue is a highly durable, bright turquoise or azure pigment invented by pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures like the Maya and Aztecs. Celebrated for its resistance to weathering, acid, and fading, it is an organic-inorganic hybrid made by heating indigo dye and palygorskite clay."

Maya Blue bears a special significance to me as I visited the Mayan ruins at Chichén Itzá on the Yucatán Peninsula many years ago.

These were created using Maya Blue pigment that I obtained straight from the source in Germany.

Perfect for the collector of the periodic table of elements!

Bear Dimensions: 2 x 1 x 1.5 cm
