Aurora Optima Auroloide Emerald Green

Showing more variation in color than any of the other Optima celluloid pens, the Emerald Green is actually green pearl, blue pearl, and black. It shares the iridescent quality of the Blue and Burgundy, but its colors are more finely divided and clearly defined.

Green and gold may be the most classical of the celluloid pen combinations, with a history going all the way back to the beginning of the use of this fountain pen material in 1923.

The 14K nib has been the standard throughout most of the history of fountain pens. This pen comes with a solid 14K gold nib plated with rhodium, and is available in EF, F, OF, OFR, M, OM, OMR, B, OB,OBR, BB, Stub, and Italic.

Originally, iridescence was achieved by the use of finely ground fish scales added to celluloid when in its semi-liquid state. The flat particles align in such a way that they reflect light from below the surface and at particular angles. The same principle is at work today in Auroloide.
