SORRY - Responded to the wrong message. Look below. Thanks!
Congratulations Yazeh! You got it! Black stone Blue Cypress!
One of two Australian inks I have and tried.
Yes, it’s scented, but the scent vanishes so quickly.
That was a lot of fun! Thanks for letting me play.

WELL DONE, YAZEH!
And thanks Radonactionservices for showing off this great ink so well and leading us around a merry chase! It was fun!

Great choice! I was miles away still - I never did manage to get my hands on the Blackstone inks I wanted before they disappeared - I especially coveted the cashmere ones.
Well done Yazeh!! and thank you Radonactionservices - I enjoyed that!

You’re welcome! I don’t have too many unusual inks, but this is a great reason to ink up a pen with an ink that might otherwise not be used until the holidays.
Is Blackstone no longer making inks?

Thanks for the journey @Radonactionservices.
Unfortunately Blackstone went defunct. You might to be able to snag a bottle or two here or there, but that's it.
@DrPenfection, would you be kind enough to post a new ink. I'm sure in the 18 pens or so, there are many delectable inks to discover
Thank you kindly Yazeh!
It just so happens that I was playing with my new glass dip pen last night and here are the results of my doodling. Here are the photos.

Done with a Rohrer & Klingner glass dip pen on white Rhodia paper.
This is a new ink to me. I just started using it a few days ago. So, let me give you my first impressions from both my dip pen experiments and my Waterman Carene (M) pen:
Feathering: Very small amount
Bleedthrough: Only in heavily saturated areas on Rhodia; not on Tomoe River
Showthrough: Only in heavily saturated areas; not on Tomoe River
Sheen: Very little on both Rhodia and Tomoe River
Shading: Good, as expected.
Halo: Moderate amount
Wetness: Fairly wet, but a little watery
Lubrication: Low to moderate
Water resistance: Very little, as expected.
Clean up: Easy
The quote is from Ecclesiates 3. This quote has nothing to do with the name of the ink or the ink manufacturer.
Thank you again Yazeh for giving up your turn. But, since you are the super swooper, I would imagine that you will figure this one out in short order. But, thi seems to have me dialed in, so . . .
Good luck, everyone!
