Vinta Inks Sodalite

Vinta Inks “Sodalite Kislap 1891” is produced for Vanness Pens, a shop based in the USA. It can be purchased in a full bottle of 30ml, or as a sample of 4 ml. According to the Vanness Pens website, the ink is “inspired by the mineralogic wonders of Magnet Cove, Arkansas,” and a “vivid blue ink is made with premium ingredients in the Philippines.” As a bonus, “with every purchase, Vinta donates to educational initiatives for poverty alleviation.” Sodalite Kislap is a pale multishading ink with a lot, A LOT, of pale greenish blue shimmer. It has been described as grey, pale green, vivid blue, and pale teal. It can shade in all these colours, but also clearly and strongly to pink, giving a great contrast to the shimmer. The shimmer can at times be so saturated as to smear off the paper very easily, mainly in larger drops or swatches.
