J. Herbin - Fountain Pen Ink - 1798 - Cornaline d'Egypte (Carnelian of Egypt)
The J. Herbin Carnelian of Egypt is a vivid orange ink infused with shimmering silver flecks. It gets its name from the Carnelian stone, which was prized by the ancient Egyptians as they believed it restored courage, improved concentration, and calmed the senses.
The ink is made and bottled in Paris and comes in a luxurious 50ml glass bottle, with wax caps and seals that are a tribute to Herbin's origins as a wax maker. The Herbin logo is engraved on the bottom of the bottle.
Carnelian of Egypt is part of a collection of inks created in 2010 to celebrate J. Herbin's 340th anniversary. The 1670 line celebrates Herbin's founding, while the 1798 line celebrates the year J. Herbin opened in Paris and expanded their ink production.
