Caroube de Chypre J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary Ink

The J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary Ink, first introduced in 2010 with the color Rouge Hematite, commemorates J. Herbin's 340th anniversary. 

It is said J. Herbin was fond of dried carob pods as a healthy food during his voyages. As with other merchants, he traded or purchased them in Cyprus.

Carob trees have been cultivated in Mediterranean countries since ancient times. Carob pods were known for their therapeutic properties and were marketed throughout Europe as the "black gold of Cyprus."

This new anniversary ink is called "Caroube de Chypre" - Cyprus Carob - because of its deep brown color. Caroube de Chypre is a dark brown ink with light red reflections and sparkling gold effect.

This highly acclaimed ink has a beautiful gold sheen to it as a result of the gold flecks. You will need to shake the bottle if it has been sitting for a while, to prevent the settling of the gold. (You can tell if you need to do this by viewing the bottom of the bottle.)
