I don't know who makes their inks but I must say I was impressed by few Levenger inks I've tried so far. Maybe with time I'll be able to review whole line. Time will tell.

 

Gemstone Green is a dark emerald ink that is primarily green, but with a slight turquoise hint to it. Usually I dislike such hues but because of great lubrication using this one was quite pleasant. I wouldn't buy a bottle but I believe it'll be great choice for those of you who enjoy heavily saturated emerald greens. Additionally you can even get a bit of reddish purple sheen with this ink.

Good review as always but I don't like this green bcause it is IMO by no means a gemstone. Rather, a dirty teal. Maybe a "False Teal"?

When I see an ink named "gemstone", "jade" or "emerald", I'm pretty sure I won't like it. Lol

This is a nice green

Subtle

Not 'in yer face ' like a St Patty's Irish green

On my Levenger short list

Thanks for the review

Cobalt Blue is a favorite of mine. Saturated, vibrant, yet well-behaved.

At first glance, it reminds me of the Diamine Steel Blue.

There's almost as much blue as green according to the RGB number.

It seems i prefer green inks with some blue in it. This looks close to my favourite green ink: Waterman (Harmonious) Green.

The Levenger inks do seem lubricated. They have a very nice 'feel' to them.
