Organics Studio Elements Glycine Blue Shimmer

Glycine (symbol Gly or G) is the amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. It is the simplest possible amino acid. Glycine is a colorless, sweet-tasting crystalline solid. Glycine was discovered in 1820 by Henri Braconnot when he hydrolyzed gelatin by boiling it with sulfuric acid. He originally called it "sugar of gelatin", but a student of Liebig showed that it contained Nitrogen, and Berzelius renamed it "glycine".

THE ELEMENTS SERIES – our take on a collection of the essential colors of any writing ink collection.  These fountain pen inks makeup a set of ‘simple’ colors, tasked with coloring the basic spectrum of pure colors.  These chemistry-themed inks were our first foray into the ink world, and have stuck with us ever since.

Glycine blue shimmer fountain pen ink is a deep rich saturated blue with shiny light blue shimmer.
