They’re MINERALS, Marie! Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic solids with a definite chemical composition and a regular atomic structure; and they are the theme for Ink Fix #11!
Featured inks in Ink Fix #11 were (from top to bottom in the above picture):
Lennon Tool Bar Tiegan/Tetsukon 鐵紺
A deep indigo blue
Kobe Ink Story x NOLTY Power of Vision Jadeite Green
Blue-leaning green teal with red sheen
Jacques Herbin 1670 Rouge Hematite
A vibrant red that sheens green-gold, with gold shimmer
PenBBS #234 Garnet

Pelikan Edelstein Ink of the Year 2017 Smoky Quartz

The mineral-themed gift with this box was a custom Pen Pebble: grey and white and black with a hint of embedded glitter and a swirl of phosphorescent polymer. These ones were made for the Ink Fix specifically, and aren’t available for sale!
