A method of manufacturing colored chalk. The method for manufacturing colored chalk includes preparing a colorant, combining the colorant with a volume of water, adding magnesium carbonate to the combination of water and colorant until a paste is formed, mixing the paste until the paste is homogenous, heating the paste in a kiln until the water is removed, and grinding a mass of colored magnesium carbonate into a powder having a desired fineness. In some embodiments, the colorant includes iron oxide, charcoal, or camellia sinensis leaves.
