Thanks for the review! IMO more of a turquoisy blue than a "real" turquoise (e.g. like Waterman's South Sea, CdA's Caribbean or Herbin's Bleu Pervenche) but who cares. The shading is great!!

I just bought a bottle of this ink and am loving it! Great review - it really shows off the richness of the colour and the lovely shading. Thanks!

I remember going to the Midlands pen show a couple of years and trying semeral Diamine inks.

 

I remember that Mediterranean blue was on the list of inks to buy. Then I lost the list.

 

Thgis might remind me to get a bottle soon.

I LOVE this color, and for once, a SUPER appropriate name! The shading is great. Everytime I use it, I think of Greece, dolmas, and gyros... :puddle:

- This is one of my very favourite inks. That color always brightens my day, and my notebooks for that matter.

Beautiful performance as well.

This is a great "summer" blue. This is one (along with Diamine Florida) of the inks I use when the weather gets warmer and I want a light feel to my writing. I'm not a turquoise fan but this is thankfully (from my point of view) not really turquoise but a lovely light blue.

      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..

      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
