Today I’ll be talking about another Blackstone ink. Blue Gum is a dark teal and smells like mint toothpaste. The smell is meant to represent the Australian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus Globulus) tree.
Swabs:
This ink had medium shading and high sheen. It’s a close match to Diamine Aurora Borealis.

This ink had a wet flow. The sheen complements the color nicely. I did not notice any smearing after the ink had dried. I did have a few hard starts with this ink but nothing to write home about.
Overall: Blackstone Blue Gum is a dark teal with high sheen.
