Quite right Matti, the ones I have are "Alphacolor" soft pastels, made in Mexico and purchased in the US. They come in sets of tones and the one I got is called "Earth Tones".

I also have a set of Doc O'Briens Weathering Powders, purchased through "Micro-Mark" in New Jersey who take credit cards and ship internationally. These arec also particularly earthy colours. I haven't used these yet but I'm itching to have a go!!
