This is a very cool ink:

 

 

Dry on top, wet on the bottom:

 

 

And the color change. This is a minute hyper lapsed to 10 seconds:

Great review of one of few dark turquoises / teals I tolerate. Thank you.

I like it!

Thanks for the review.

This ink went a little greener than I liked (I'd really been hoping for a readily accessible replacement for FPN member Pharmist's Turkish Night) but I will keep it and use it, since I am generally pretty fond of IG inks). Or maybe find someone that likes it more than me as a PiF at some point. Or, may try what someone did awhile back with Turkish Night and add some vinegar to a batch in a sample vial to see if it stays turquoise blue longer....

I know the nature of iron galls is such that there's a limit to how light and bright they can be, but I do wish this one were a little less dark once dry. Still, it's a really fun ink.
