I recently received the Van Dieman's Aurora Australis (Night Series) so I had a play with it using a Brause ornament nib this morning. Chromatography shows a blue tint is part of the ink composition, unlike Diamine Manggis which looks similar on the page, but only has pink and purple in chromatography. In writing the ink seems like a cross between Manggis and Monteverde Rose Noir, both of which are favorite inks of mine, so win-win!
...sorry for the missing photos, I can't seem to grab the BBcode while on my phone. I'll fix this in the morning when I get back to my desk...
A little doodle to start my day:

In the following writing the green sheen is quite evident.

And a damp paper towel which I dropped some ink into -- the blue haloed one is the Aurora Australis, and the other one is Diamine Manggis:
