At the first glance it looked like we are getting about 30ml of ink in the bottle,but wait the bottle says 50ml. It looks like the ink is stuck on the ceiling of the ink bottle .The glass is an absolute beauty and the base of the glass is spread across giving it the extra curve to hold more ink.The bottle is called ‘flacon’ .Bottle is pretty heavy and the ink along with bottle weighs 9.6 ounces.The ink is Made in Germany and Pelikan calls it the Extra Soft Ink.
Now an ink like this is definitely worth trying. So I filled my Pelikan M215 Fountain Pen with one of the colors ,every color looked good,so I selected a random color JADE(sounded like a pretty nice name). The writing was pretty smooth and I felt that ink was drying at a pretty decent pace.The color of the ink was elegant soft green and the ink never skipped while writing. Need to try another color (guessing Mandarin as its close to the Rhodia note pad that I use everyday as my mouse pad)
It is definitely worth to have each color in your collection. Each bottle costs 20 dollar and there are 7 colors with a gemstone theme: Ruby, Mandarin, Aventurin, Jade, Topaz, Sapphire, and Onyx.Edelstein is the German word for ‘gemstone’ . The Edelstein collection has stirred a lot of interest among the pen lovers as it has been quite sometime that an company has released fancy ink bottle.Well,guess the wait is worth it.But only time will tell whether it has been accepted by ink lovers across the globe.Waiting for comments from users.
