While Pelikan has ventured out of their comfort zone recently, that may be asking a bit much.

There really hasn’t been a shade like this in the Edelstein line-up which makes for a bit of a refreshing change. I would not expect to see any released to market anytime soon. To date, I haven’t seen them release an opal, something with a light base color and blue/red/green sheen or shimmer. The ink won’t be available until March as is the usual case with these. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe german word Edelstein translates as gem stone, and each color corresponds to the beautiful coloring of a gem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery 50 ml high-value glass vial is unique. I still hope for one. One can hope.Word is that one is indeed coming. I, too, hope that there is a blue sheen as is seen in good moonstones. Each year Pelikan introduces a new fountain pen ink for a limited time. Excerpts and links may be used, provided that credit is given to Joshua E. Danley and The Pelikan’s Perch with appropriate and specific direction to the original content. If Pelikan comes out with the matching pen, and sells them as a set, that can be my birthday gift.We usually hear about the matching pens between June and August so we should know more around then. Therefore, I am very keen to see what Pelikan make of it in ink, and in a pen to follow. In addition to learning of the M200 Pastel-Green, our second bit of product news is all about Moonstone, the forthcoming 2020 Edelstein Ink of the Year. Slated for a September release which means that we may hear about it sometime this month. The ink looks to be a rather light silver-gray and perhaps those more versed in the gray inks can shed some light on similar shades from other manufacturers.

If this one has a hint of blue, so much the better. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe german word Edelstein translates as gem stone, and each color corresponds to the beautiful coloring of a gem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery 50 ml high-value glass vial is unique. To be sure, they are running out of gemstones that wouldn’t repeat colors from previous years. I do believe sheen is the better descriptor here. Other colours, especially gold, look ugly. I can’t wait to see swabs of it.I think if any ink was going to shimmer, Star Ruby would have been the one.

It’s in a pen with an italic nib, and I think it is dark enough to read. The rich weight and soft curves make it a pleasure to have sat on your desk. I hope Pelikan comes out with one. I’m looking forward to an M205 Moonstone. Hopefully Pelikan won’t disappoint.I was wondering, if Pelikan would bring a new colour at all in 2020.Now, since the first month of 2020 has come to its end, why is no new ink available?I would appreciate if Pelikan would jump on the shimmering ink train finally.To make a shimmering ink that looks good and does not clog any pen is a real challenge.You’re welcome. Stay well, good pen friend.I saw a review of Moonstone on the Fountain Pen Network, and to my eyes it is dark enough to read.

Pelikan eschews the black cap of the bottle here for a dull-silver lid, further tying together the theme. The german word Edelstein translates as gem stone, and each color corresponds to the beautiful coloring of a gem.Every 50 ml high-value glass vial is unique. Please use the Sometimes Pelikan’s website can be slow to update and they can be slow to push information out to retailers. While not yet announced, I can already imagine something akin to the older Anthracite demo, perhaps with the chromium trim of the M205 line. I’m not optimistic for a Hub this year due to the coronavirus but we’ll see.Any news about a matching Moonstone fountain pen? I think Pelikan has the ability to render a reasonable representation of an opal, based on the chatoyance they’ve been able to get on their marble M200s. But blue might be quite OK.So, if Pelikan makes a more bold effort in shimmering than with Ruby and go for something in the range of blue/violet, than this new ink might become a very worthy ink of the year 2020.Thank you for sharing your experience with Star Ruby. That is a territory that I do not see Pelikan venturing into anytime soon.Admittedly I should not have called it shimmer but sheen.Ah, thank you for the clarification. I have never gotten into gray inks. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Hopefully they check in on Joshua’s excellent blog.I don’t think Pelikan pays too much mind to me. The palette again shifts, this time to a silver-gray hue which is a significant departure from the prior Star Ruby release.

and the new ones….. also a Grey one i just found out) [im hunting that one down as we speak]. Thankfully, we have other manufacturers to fill that space.And, from my experience, in case of black as foundation, violet is the best option for the shimmering component.
