Looking For A Dark Blue Or Green Marbled/flecked Ebonite

[skolirvarden]

Hi,

 

Exactly what the topic title says - does anyone have suggestions on where to find a nice dark blue (preferred) or dark green marbled/flecked ebonite?

 

Thanks

Are you looking for a pen, or the rod stock to turn your own?

If the former, I think that Fountain Pen Revolution has some pens from India that are those colors. If the latter, check with Shawn at Newton Pens to see where he got his blanks from because I think that in the past he's had dark blue ebonite. Some year when I have won the lottery I'm going to commission a pen from him: a piston filler of some lovely stuff he had that looked like the old Lapis celluloid from the 1930s -- which I've seen used on Pelikan, MB and Parker pens I can't afford -- and then have the cap, section and piston knob be out of dark blue ebonite.... (Okay, a girl can dream, right? )

Further to the good advice from Ruth,

 

The best option I can come up with for you is to check out the German supplier, SEM. They have a variety of greens and blues, and many other delightful colours, including Plain, Mottled and Marbled options, in stock and available in cut sizes.
