Is Ochre A Mineral

The oldest pigment in human history. Ochre is iron oxide bound in clay, dug straight from the ground. It was used to mark cave walls 100,000 years before anyone invented the word art. It comes out of the earth already the colour of earth, and no synthetic pigment made since has replaced it. Still sold. Still ground. Still used.
