Evidence
"وطريق عمله : أن تأخذ قشر بيض وتكلسه . فإذا تكلس صبغته بزهرة النيلة إلى أن يرضيك لونه"
Remarks
The author notes that there are two types of this pigment: a light version (خفيفاً) which is common, and a heavy version (الثقيل) which is considered superior in quality (الأجود). This indicates a differentiation in grade based on physical density (p. 169).
