That's the site that highlights their product.
You buy it primarily from third party distributors, and you can just google their products on the web and come up with stores to get it from.
If any of you looked at the pieces I posted in the main orgonite thread you'd see that the colors on the bottoms of my newest HHGs are super super awesome and super beautiful. They are the nicest pieces ever, and it really made me realize how important good pigments are. The other colors I used were dull and flat, and food coloring makes it look terrible. I want oxide powders that are in different colors, so if I want red I can swirl in red iron oxide, but the thing is, those colors have a very flat look as well, because it is just a single element.
I think that Pearl Ex pigments are the best I have come across, and I'd challenge anyone to find pigments that are more beautiful than these ones.
Someone said they hope to be pouring orgonite at my level, but I say that it has a LOT to do with the materials you use. If you use these pigments, anyone is going to be able to make a beautiful piece. Then it is up to your inner creativity to use combinations of crystals and metal to come out with the desired effect!
So bottom line is - I think everyone should spend the 20 bucks and buy a series pack of these pigments. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain! The pigments aren't that expensive when it comes down to it, and if they are routinely added to pieces that are for non-utility reasons (why color something you bury or toss in the bush (unless you wanted camo colors, but then you'd want flat color not vibrant pretty trip out colors )) then everyone would benefit from having every orgonite piece made with super vibrant colors!
All the colors! Ha ha!
Seriously go buy some. What's twenty dollars if you're already making orgonite. You'll thank me later.

Making that orgonite doesn't make me some kind of super artist. It means I used the right materials. Let's do it!
PS: These pigments are routinely marketed towards EVERYTHING BUT resins and liquids. I think they have no idea that it ends up looking so pretty. I wrote them a letter and showed picture of the orgonite. I'm curious to see if they'll ever respond.
