Turquoise Ink

[Aurko]

I highly recommend Sheaffer Skrip Turquoise as a very nice, well behaved, trouble free turquoise. It's fairly close to the Peacock Blue, but just a little different.

Visconti Turquoise.... Iro Ama Iro is a great blue turquoise and then SS Peacock is nice too. But Visconti Turquoise is spectacular.....

Two great turquoise inks: Diamine Steel Blue and KWZI Iron Gall Turquoise

[DrDebG]

Waterman Inspired Blue - works wonderfully well in all of my pens.

I personally was not wild about the DA Document Turquoise -- it had a lot of spread.

My favorites are: vintage Skrip Peacock Blue (if you can find it, get it -- the color is just AMAZING); Noodler's Navajo Turquoise; and (although it hasn't been available for a while) FPN member Pharmacist's Turkish Night iron gall ink (starts cyan blue and oxidizes to tealish green -- I was hoping that KWZI IG Turquoise would be a substitute, but it oxidizes too dark to be a true match).

I can highly recommend Noodler's Navajo Turquoise. Incredible shading but also toned down enough to be super legible.

Another Turquoise I like is Lamy Turquoise. Here's a review:

Hands up: I am an turquoise ink hoarder )))))))

MB Honore de Balzac is the holy grail of turquoise ink - get it while you can...they do occasionally appear on ebay

 

second choice is a little strange: Sheaffer Skrip Turquoise

it is the most vibrant bright turquoise...and I hate to admit it, because it's so cheap but it is just lovely

With less than a half a bottle of turquoise Quink remaining, I fill with Sheaffer Turquoise or Lamy Turquoise.

I've been pleased with Sheaffer Turquoise Skrip, which is made in Slovenia, and with Noodler's VMail Midway Blue, which is definitely on the blue side of turquoises.

I have been using turquoise ink in my work for 30 years as an accountant, I used Parker quink till discontinued then Montblanc that was discontinued about 3 years ago, at a loss now where to get any more. I have had to start using the pilot varsity pens, but I prefer to work with my 51's. Any ideas

 

You didn't mention if permanence is a requirement for your accounting work. As much as I like Noodler's Navajo Turquoise, I set a glass down on a to-do list written with it and the condensation from the glass obliterated my writing. On the positive side, I now have fewer things to do.

Why didn't I think of that. Use washable blue for the "To-Do" list and then use it as a coaster. Here in Nevada, we don't have much humidity, so I might have to spill something on it, too. Good idea!

Montblanc Ink of Friendship. Good luck finding a bottle though!

[lizncats]

Diamine Havasu Turquoise and Lamy Turquoise are favorites of mine.

 

Goulet Pens has an 8 vial Turquoise Sampler for $9 - sounds like fun.
