Jacques Herbin 1798 Kyanite du Nepal - 50ml Bottled Ink

This 50ml glass bottle of Jacques Herbin 1798 Kyanite du Népal fountain pen ink is a bright blue pulling towards turquoise. It is magnified thanks to a cloud of silver glitter for powerful and elegant writing. Each bottle cap is hand dipped in sealing wax, with a stamped '1798' seal on the front of the bottle, and is innavidually packaged in a collector edition box.

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

1798 commemorates a significant year in Jacques Herbin's history. At this time, the French Revolution was ending, and the Herbin company, founded in 1670, was growing. In 1798 the company relocated to expand their production capabilities and the influence of their inks and sealing wax.

Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.
