The introduction is a repeat from previous Sweet Life reviews.
In 2016 Monteverde started to re-imagine / configure their inks and as a part of that they have released a number of collections e.g. noir, emotions, gemstones and this, the Sweet Life collection released early 2019.   The collections are not easy to obtain in my part of the world but Pen and Ink (Queensland) have the sets for AUD$99 plus postage.  
I contacted Monteverde in the USA about some of their other inks, the US people directed me to the Australasian distributor who in turn directed me to Pen and Ink. It would appear Pen and Ink are the only retailers in this part of the world, (and have been fantastic) in the US many retailers stock Monteverde inks.  In the US the sets retail on line from US$90 - $100.
As said there are 10 inks in the collection, I will divide the reviews but make some general comments here and after the last review summarise what I have found / think.  The same pen was used for each ink i.e. a Birmingham Pen Co 6th Avenue pen.

Another Monteverde ink and this one called purple wisdom. I can tell you absolutely nothing about the name as it is purple and its wisdom and I have no idea why they put the two together.  It is a part of another Monteverde set this one called emotions.  The first few inks I reviewed were from the Gemstone collection, I have reviewed one from the noir collection and now this from emotions.  The set includes: Peace Blue, Kindness Pink, Love Red, Gratitude Magenta, Passion Burgundy, Confidence Blue, Hope Green, Motivation Orange, Joy Sepia and Wisdom Purple.

Another Monteverde ink this time  from the 10 ink Noir collection released at the end of 2017.  In 2016 Monteverde started to re-imagine / configure their inks and as a part of that the Noir collection was released.  All the inks are lubricated which means they stay wetter longer in your pens, I have not left an ink in a pen long enough to determine if this is a benefit or not.

The third and last of the Monteverde gem inks I have.  With each ink performance has improved and I do like a green ink so ……….

I am sticking with the few Monteverde gemstone inks I have and today it is Moonstone, hopefully I much better performer than Topaz, a review I abandoned. 
Moonstone is a sodium potassium aluminium silicate of the feldspar group.  Feldspars are minerals that crystallize from magma which is found beneath the earths surface, most would know magma as the molten material that spews from a volcano.  Moonstone has a pearly opalescent schiller, schiller is the result of thin microscopic inclusions in a translucent mineral that refracts and reflects incandescent light.
