PROS

• Legible green for all your nibs!
• Work appropriate.
• Easy to fill from bottle - nice wide mouth.
• Attractive, heavy glass bottle. Great because you're less likely to tip it while filling!
• Beautiful shading.
• Pretty easy to clean.

CONS

• A larger bottle of ink costs quite a bit.
• The color is not quite what I imagine a true olivine to be, but I am not a gemologist. 

OVERALL

Olivine is not quite the color I pictured when I was imagining what Pelikan would create for this gemstone. I pictured something lighter with more shading, all on top an olive base. That doesn't mean it's not a beautiful color. It really is, and it's well-behaved and has some goodness going for it. What do you think?
