Pelikan and most retailers describe it as a soft, light green. My swatches lean noticeably more blue, closer to a jade-teal than a true light green, and the written line is a clear mid-tone rather than soft or pale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate. The swab bar moves from light teal to a deeper green, and the writing darkens where ink pools at the ends of strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheen:\u003c\/strong\u003e None in normal writing.

The word \"jade\" comes from the Spanish \"piedra de ijada,\" meaning stone of the loin, because the stone was once believed to cure kidney complaints. Pelikan itself dates back to 1838 in Hanover, where it started as a chemist's business making paints and inks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a hand-decanted 4ml sample vial from my own bottle.\u003cbr\u003ePhotos are my own swatches on Tomoe River Paper.\u003cbr\u003eI'm a collector and I'm always happy to talk ink, so please message me if you have any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pelikan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57266212208966,"sku":"INK-047","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/9696\/1862\/files\/PelikanEdelstein-Jade3.jpg?v=1789763885","url":"https:\/\/thepensmuggler.co.uk\/products\/pelikan-edelstein-jade","provider":"The Pen Smuggler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
