This is the newest ink from Franklin-Christoph. It had its debut at the Atlanta Pen Show, and I snapped up a bottle while I was there. This one isn't limited like the Philly ink was, so there should be plenty available.

You know, this reminds me a bit of Akkerman #03. I think this one is a bit better, though.
Check out the shimmer in the Blue Lightning. Whoa.

Interesting colour but a bit too turqiousey for my taste
Yep, it's definitely got that kind of flavor.
I picked up a bottle in Atlanta because I had a OMAS Turquoise sample I like. When I wrote with it side by side with Spanish Blue it was a pretty close match. Since I don't know where to get the OMAS, I got the Spanish Blue.
Yeah, Jack, the OMAS inks are hard to find, and I hear people really like that turquoise. I haven't tried it, myself.
