guess the ink!

[Pterodactylus]

Diamine Red Dragon?

[Medieval]

I would think Diamine Red Dragon is close. I'l try another - Diamine Merlot.

[azkid]

Good guesses but alas, neither. Clue is -- not Diamine.

[Kulprit]

Noodler’s Antietam?

Hi,

Robert Oster Burgundy?

[azkid]

Thanks you for your guesses but, unfortunately, neither is correct. The continent you seek is Europe. If it helps, dry times are in the range of 10-30 seconds, maybe more depending on paper. Flow is good and the ink lubricates the nib somewhat making this ink a real gem to write with.

Best of luck in your guesses! Hopefully you won't have to dig too deep and the answer will be crystal clear soon.

Ok, I see. The hints "Europe", "gem" and "crystal" mean Pelikan Edelstein, right? So it is Ruby or Garnet.
I say Garnet (the darker one here).

Jens beat me to it. I was going to say Edelstein Garnet. I have both Edelstein Ruby and GvFC Garnet in my regular rotation and this ink is neither of those.

You are both SO close!

Think French.

[SchaumburgSwan]

Is it named after an iron mineral? Hematite? Herbin?

[azkid]

It's J. Herbin, yes. The mineral/gem has been named in English. The ink name is two words. One of those words is the French word for the gem.

[azkid]

Any guesses. I know you will get it

Ok, my final hint. How do you say "garnet red" in French?

J Herbin Rouge Grenat

Oh dear,

I was "standing on the hose" as we say here...
