26 May 2024 – Private Reserve Tanzanite


This is a mysterious, intriguing ink. It’s got a boldness to it, and a beauty, and overall it seems alluring to me. If I had to pick a purple, that isn’t Backpack, this might be the one.

A gem of an ink
“I have dealt in gems in both Tanzania and Kenya and I can assure you that no game of chess would ever approach the African gemstone marketplace for excitement and intrigue… the traffic in tanzanite sometimes involved people who were Muslim extremists.” -Ron @ Mills Gem
