Well Behaved and Elegant
This ink is a beautiful and rich color. It is a little on the dry side, so I always go for a broader nib. I gave it 5 stars because it's a really pretty and unique shade!

Edelstein has one of the fanciest bottles I've ever seen. view less

Not quite olive...

I sampled 4 greens last night and this Olivine took nearly 2x as long to clean out of my Pelikan M805 (only dipped too!) than any of the other greens that I tried. Those were Cult Pens Deep Dark Green, Ferris Wheel Press Peppermint Drop and Faber-Castell Moss Green (which is actually much darker and more saturated than this Olivine). view less
