Description Jacques Herbin 1798 Cornaline d'Egypte fountain pen ink is a rich, deep shade of orange with silver shimmer particles and comes as a 3ml sample in a plastic vial with a dip at the bottom to allow you to easily get every drop, labeled with the name of the ink brand and color. Cornaline d'Egypte ink is inspired by the gemstone carnelian, which is believed to be one of the most calming and healing of stones. It is believed to eliminate stress and elevate moods. Jacques Herbin does include a fairly strict warning on the box, letting users know to clean out this highly saturated ink from your pen on a regular basis, but the ink is safe for fountain pens. The shimmer particles settle out of suspension fairly quickly, and these particles can be seen on the bottom of the bottle. The ink, and your pen, should be gently agitated before, and occasionally during, use for best results. For a thorough review of this ink, check out our thINKthursday blog post.
