Currently using this ink in my Pelikan M205 Amethyst with a Fine nib. Earlier today I was in a meeting writing my notes on Rhodia Dots paper and noticed I kept getting distracted admiring the ink. It's a beautiful, rich purple with great shading but maybe unsuited for when I need to concentrate on the discussion.

It is available on Amazon.com

 

I don't know if Pen Chalet have it.

 

As of just now (2/10/16, about 110 PM EST) Pen Chalet has it back in stock. I get their email ads and it was announced in the one I got in the mail this morning.

How long it will still be there is anyone's guess (I'm okay -- I picked up a bottle at OPS in November, so I don't need more; Turmaline and Amber, OTOH... :crybaby:).

There is nothing like being a year late because one was a dollar short.

They had no bottle left in my pen store....so I got some cartridges. Put into my chrome and black Celebry F......like the 200 a springy 'true' regular flex nib. The Celebry gold nib is as good as the steel one.

It is a nice shading ink. A real good shading ink. I've only tried it on two papers....in the first minute I had it.

 

No more Subway cookies when I go to town....and finally they opened up a Dunking Donuts shop in Heidelberg......no more of them either.....got to save for the horribly expensive six cartridges.....4.95 for only six....for 8-9 euro's more I could had gotten a bottle. Those who are not thrifty...have to pay the price. :wallbash: Got to get the man's remaining stock in amethyst cartridges. :puddle:

Remember swords, fine single malts, and Beer of the Years can wait. :doh:

Buy the Ink of the Years First!!!! :thumbup:

xxxxxx

when one wastes money buy swords, one can only expect cartridges of Pelikan Amethyst (being a year late :doh:)...do not...repeat....do not go to town, with Amethyst ink in one's mind. For 1/3 more than a regular 200 was the Amethyst 'demonstrator'.....sigh. I'm not really into clear demonstrators....I didn't have a need for any demonstrator at all. It's transparent enough to see the guts move around or how it was made if one wishes to look against the light. The 'silver' band at the piston has added class to the 200....in I don't chase 200's I don't know when they added that.

It can still be found in bottles at some places. It's so good! Wasn't sold until I tried a sample, then had to get a bottle. I may have a pen dedicated to it. It's just so darn nice all around!

I've been having problems cleaning it out of the Celebry pen it was in. Soaked it, hit it with the baby bulb......sat it in the cup with a paper towel. |A| day or two. Dunk it in the water wait a day.....still 'there' on the paper towel.

Clean it out again. :angry:

 

 

OK, in I really want to use that pen.....any pen for a new ink...It's JP pen flush time. Then back to the bathroom sink with the rubber bulb.

Still some..not much but a dot.... :unsure:

 

I want to see if that Kaweco Sunrise orange works well.

 

The MB orange came out a tad dark in there was evil uncleaned remnants in that pen it was in. ...I had 'thought' it clean ...but was wrong.

I liked it better when it was a bit darker.

      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
