“Life is short, Break the Rules.
Forgive quickly, Kiss SLOWLY.
Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret ANYTHING
That makes you smile.”
― Mark Twain
No stash here either but I do indeed have an original bottle ....
One tasty ink for sure !

Update:
The bottle of Rouge Hemitite arrived yesterday in -6 degrees temp (both Mont Blanc inks - JS seaweed green and Leonardo chalk red were frozen solid!). It was pretty cold, too, but not frozen. After giving it time to warm up, I tested it and my initial impression is that while it does have a gold sheen, it is not nearly as pronounced as my samples from Goulet were. It is still a very cool bottle and beautiful ink, and like the Mont Blancs, welcome additions to my ink collection.
Not that I do not like the Goulet Samples but for these types of inks, sometimes I think a sample can be off and may not represent the true color of the ink. The gold sheen comes from the gold stuff, whatever it is. If not mixed consistently when drawing ink for samples, they are going to vary.

Does anyone know if the sku is differnt between formulas? How do you know what you have?
"When Men differ in Opinion, both Sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the Publick;
and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter."
~ Benjamin Franklin
I've bought a bottle of 1670 two weeks ago, I checked the bottom of the bottle and find some stuff stick on it. But when I try it , nothing else but red ink. So I add some gold sediment in it and write with dip pen. It looks great.
I got my old bottle back out because of this thread and inked it up. Dang I love this ink, and it does add such a lovely gold glisten to your pen's feed. I have never had it cause issues, adore it.
