Stipula Calamo Moss Green

[majorworks]

Nice review. The ink looks like Herbin Vert Empire to me, though.

Being in Europe (UK) I bought my bottle of this lovely stuff from Rolf Thiel at missing-pen.de - great service and rapid delivery.

 

I can certainly recommend the excellent services of Rolf Thiel.

I bought two bottles of Moss Green from Rolf; shipping from Germany to my hot little hands here in the UK, a mere 3 days. Fantastic, many thanks Rolf!!

Much more of a brownish green than Vert Empire

I see from the review that this ink is not waterproof, but is it at all water resistant ?

 

Hi John, geoduc did an amazing two part review of dusky green inks earlier this year, here and here, and as you can see from the scan below, the Stipula Verde Muschiato (7th from the bottom) is not very water resistant at all. The image below is from geoduc's review, which I highly recommend.

 

 

 

Fabienne, great review - I love your writing and your always entertaining humor.

I believe there's a limited edtion Stipula Green that's similar to Verde Muschiato but with more emphasis on the green tones. I definitely saw that somewhere on FPN but can't quite remember where.

 

Having used Verde Muschiato for a while, I still can't quite think of it as a green....more of a gold-brown with green undertones.

It is not waterproof like Noodler's Black. Now by water resistant, do you mean it makes some weak attempt to cling to the paper in the face of water in any form (from a light mist to drops to torrents)? Absolutely NOT. As a matter of fact, if you get a new pen or a pen to try out, or a pen which is a delicate color (like an ivory color) then use Moss Green in it because it will wash out like magic. I bet it's easier to wash out than Florida Blue. So, do not use it for your next scuba dive notes underwater because it will be a great disappointment to you. In every other application, it is wonderful.

Salamander is close. But so are others!

[Sblakers]

Just got a bottle of this and I think it's my new favorite color. This stuff is simply amazing.

I love this colour, particularly as my bottle of Sailor Rikyu Cha is almost empty. Anyone know where you can buy it in the UK?

 

Thanks for this excellent review.
