J. Herbin 1798 Anniversary Inks - Silver Sheen 50 ml Bottled - Amethyste de L'Oural (Rich Deep Purple Ink)

I’m using this ink in a twisbi eco stub 1.1 bold and it’s wonderful.

I use this ink in an inexpensive pen with a broad nib, and I absolutely LOVE it. It actually does glitter! and with the broad nib, it has never clogged. So I am very pleased with it. It's a wonderful dark shade of purple as well.

I love this ink. The Jacques Herbin 1798 and 1670 inks collection are the only shimmering inks I enjoy using. The glitter particulates used in by Jacques Herbin doesn't seem to dry as fast on the nib nor clogged the feed as frequency as the Diamine Shimmertastic collection when not in use for long period of time.However, I would not recommend getting this ink, if you are not a fan of either shimmering nor a deep shade of purple. There is literally nothing else interesting about this ink beside those two factors. The ink has minimum shading, not water-resist, and is well-behaved.I use this ink in my Lamy Safari Dark Lilac (SE) and the color of the ink match exact to the pen color.I recommend using at least a (western) fine nib or a really wet (western) extra-fine for the shimmering effect to be noticeable. Of course, the wider and wetter the nib, the greater the shimmering effect would be more noticeable.Unfortunately, this ink cannot be compared to the Emerald of Chivor (1670). I still consider Emerald of Chivor to be the best "green" and "J. Herbin" ink. However, I would consider the Amethyste de I'Oural to be one of my favorite purple ink (along with Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Rose & Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo) and my second favorite J. Herbin ink followed by the Bleu Ocean (1670).If you really like deep, dark purple with some glittered inks, I highly recommend giving this ink a try. You certainly will not regret it.

I love the J Herbin colors with sheen. There are several differnt color and they are beautiful, vibrant colors. Okay, maybe brown is not actually a "vibrant" color, but with the sheen it has a richness and depth to it.Unfortunately I havent been able to find a demonstrator pen that does a good job of showing off the ink both while in the pen as well as on paper. The ink looks phenomenal in the Moon Man 2 demonstrator. I love being able to see the inks sloshy around in the barrel of pen. Unfortunately the MM2 comes with a F ro EF nib which does nothing to show off the ink on paper--and has other problems.I have a pen with a Peter Bock's TITANIUM BOCK 250 NIB. It's a flex nib in medium that has enough ink flow to show off the sheen on paper. Unfortunatley the pen is also titanium can so I can't see the ink.Idealy I want a crystal clear, full barrel demonstrator with a great flex nib at less than $50 so I can have one pen per color.

This is the most enjoyable ink I have. Reserved for my favorite piston Visconti fountain pen. The silver combined with the deep purple really popped with my Japanese paper.

This ink is GORGEOUS. The deep purple with a slight silver shimmer is magnificent. The only downside is it dries in your pen fast. I put this in my Amethyst Sheaffer Taranis, Medium Nib, and it got clogged up after a week. Multiple regular cleanings later and it still was not working, even with another ink! I soaked the nib in very hot water over a period of several hours to clean it out. I looked in the barrel and found the feed system covered in a film of this ink that had to be pried off with a Q-tip.That said, I think this ink would work better in a wetter pen, and should be avoided in F / XF pens, and less wet M pens.

I bought it on a lark because I love purple and I love sparkles. Writes really well and is one of my go-to inks for writing. Just enough shine and a great ink if you like bold colors on the page. I use mine with a fine-tipped pen and don't have any issues with clogging, but I'm also pretty good about shaking my pen before use, so maybe that helps? Either way, it's fun to use and quite lovely to look at.

If you want a shimmering purple, it's hard to go wrong with the Herbin Amethyst. It's a subtle silver shimmer, not something that's going to be overbearing or likely to clog your skinnier nibs. In playing around with it on Tomoe paper I found it to be quite well behaved even for a terrible lefty writer such as myself. I'd put this one in the "get it while you can" category if you're looking for a purple ink. No issues with dry starts, etc so far even in my cheapie Jinhao tester pen.
