on salePelikan Edelstein Sapphire - Ink Sample

What I like about the samples is that you receive enough to really give the ink a true spin around the block. It also allows one to try our more expensive inks before making a purchase. I really love the Edelstein inks.

A nice ink but would not be worth it's premium price if you bought a bottle. You can get most inks that are just as nice for half the price of Edelstein or even less. Sample vial only about 1/3 full.

This ink looks nothing like it does on the screen. Basically it is a simple purple with shading. It's boring. If I could return it I would. Topaz is a spectacularly beautiful color, complex shading, smooth and a pleasure for the eye. Sapphire is just the opposite. Too bad.

I have purchased this ink in Topaz and Sapphire, and both are great. I like the flow of this ink, for lack of a better word. Neither color ever clogs in the pen. The Sapphire shade looks violet when wet, but dries to a slightly more professional color somewhere between navy and purple.

As advertised by Pelikan, this is a soft blue. The ink works well in all my parker pens and I do like the color, but it is too soft for me, powder blue would be my description. It is worth a try if you like blue ink.
