Pelikan Edelstein Ink Of The Year 2025 – Apricot Achat

A new cycle of Pelikan news begins for 2025, starting with this year’s Edelstein Ink Of The Year: Apricot Achat.

This year’s ink is a non-shimmering shade of vibrant golden orange, inspired by Pantone 163C (Hex: #ff9d6e/RGB: 255,157,110).

The hue resembles apricot agate, making it the fourteenth gemstone-inspired ink in the Edelstein series. Like previous editions, it will be available for one year or while supplies last. Apricot Achat is set to launch in March 2025, offering a fresh shade for Spring.

Achat (pronounced aˈxaːt) is the German word for the gemstone Agate, but it actually has different meanings in various languages.

All agate varieties get their name from the Italian River “Achetes” in Sicily, where ancient civilizations first found the stone.

Apricot Agate is a type of Botswana Agate named for its pink and orange colors, resembling an Apricot. It is a rarer form of agate and those who believe in the metaphysical properties of stones say it offers protection, calm, and balance. Pelikan suggests that the ink represents vitality and optimism, creating a sense of excitement and modernity.
