guess the ink!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Monteverde California Teal, but only because I think that might possibly maybe be what it could possibly maybe look like in a 50s Pelikan

DeAtramentis Seladon ?

[mizgeorge]

DeAtramentis Seladon ?

It is indeed.

DeAtramentis make a lot of very lovely greens, and this is probably my favourite of them. They're also beautifully well behaved in just about every pen. I highly recommend them - both the standard and the document range.

Well done, Yazeh! That would have been my pick as well. I look forward to seeing another of your great inks.

Thank you, mizgeorge for introducing me to another great ink. I love DeAtramentis inks. All of the ones that I have used are great inks, but this is one I haven't tried.

[Yazeh]

Dr. P you got it first, I just did a swoop for fun, because I knew someone liked Celadon
So please go ahead..... and dazzle us....

[DrPenfection]

Thank you, Yazeh!

ANOTHER GREEN INK! It must be that time of year.

This isn't what I would call a "dazzling" ink, but it has its own unique characteristics.
