Cochineal

Cochineals were tiny parasitic insects, native to Maztica, notable for their red color.

Usages
Cochineals were used for their red color and were crushed into red dye, most commonly used in production of makeup for reddening lips and cheeks, as well as fabric dyes.

History
By late 14 century DR, powdered cochineal was imported from Maztica and sold all around the realms via Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue. A vial of 8 ounces was sold for 4 silver pieces.
