    Wouldn't hurt. Most really professional painters and many enamelists
    compound their own pigments. Most really professional jewelry shops
    (including ours) mill their own stock and alloy their own metals. My
    brother the inlayer rarely buys rocks, he goes outside and collects
    them. The nearer the source the better..
