Herbin 1798 Kyanite Du Nepal


Olya

Recommended Posts

"HERE IT IS: The Kyanite du Népal from our exclusive 1798 Anniversary Ink Collection available 06/21 [21st June]

 

About the ink: Kyanite is bright blue and pulling toward turquoise. It is magnified thanks to a cloud of silver glitter for a powerful and elegant writing.

Since the discovery of the famous mining region of Nepal, Kali Gandaki, Kyanite has been recognized as a noble mineral because of its similarities with the rich tones of sapphire."

Thank you! So... Kryptonite from Nepal? Disco Kon Peki?

Love the color . . . but not the glitter.

At least they finally fixed that awful tiny cap with the new bottles.

 

I think my love for shimmer inks stops and starts with emerald of chivor and nemosine blue snowball nebula. Everything else just feels like a kid with a glitter pen to me for some reason.

I don't look for glitter, I don't mind it in Rouge Hématite, but I would hate for this ink to turn out to be high maintenance as well...

They should include Kyanite with the bottle to get rid of negative energy while writing, promoting clarity of thought. wink.png

 

Rename it Herbin 1798 Clarity.

I'm generally not a shimmery-kind of person but I do have a handful of Herbin's shimmer inks. I started with EoC and it's still my favorite and the only one I use regularly. I got Rouge Hematite thinking it would pair well with EoC for Christmas cards (it did not). I recently tried a little Stormy Grey and liked it, mainly because the shimmer was only noticeable if you looked really closely, but I probably won't buy a bottle unless I find a great deal.

 

Disco Kon Peki is not a color I normally enjoy (though I do actually like Kon Peki–I'm a man of contradictions) so I'll probably pass on this one.

Not for me, fortunately! Does look like a very safe combination, general appeal-wise.

I too use only EoC from the range. The rest were tried from friends/samples and then forgotten. biggrin.png

I think Rouge Hematite maybe also causes trouble because of the red dye, as red is known to generally cause trouble...? (nib crud and similar).

Thank you!! You're right about red inks in general and crud.

 

Kyanite du Népal might be too close to Kon Peki for me.

From the Goulet sample, I don't think the color seems close to Kon-Peki.

On the reddit swab, it has some similar shades but not on writing sample.

I think a $2.25 investment in a sample will clear the matter for potential buyers.

Irrespective of the reviews, colour and shading preferences are subjective and it sure beats buying the $30 bottle.

Thank you for that. It looks truly interesting.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
