    Looks like the Andersons do, since they already have a sample sheet done.
    I dropped myself on their email list for when they're allowed to release it for sale.

    I have my name on Goulet's list for September release, I think.

    No, I don't have any of this. It looks good though.

    I have been on the fence about shimmer/sparkle inks. This color is definitely on my must have list.

    I'm on somebody's list to buy it when it's available. I forgot whose list though.

    I acquired a sample at the DC Pen Show. Don’t have anything to ink it up in though.

    When you can

    Could you confirm it's a darker purple when on paper and not a pale violet please

    Thanks

    Seconding Silverbreeze's request!
    Though really, I don't "need" another bottle of ink...

    UPDATE:
    So I just saw the Anderson's review, and it looks like a deep purple.

    And isn't the Pilot Custom (in lavendar) a nice touch?

    It is a rather nice compliment to the ink, especially since you can see the silvery bits of the internals of the pen.

    Whoever does the pen pairings has a masterful eye.

    Received a bottle of Amethyste yesterday.

    It is in fact a very dark lovely purple.

    I was able to get one from Jetpens. It's amazing and a true deep purple on the blue side of the spectrum.

    If you love sparkle, definitely try Nemosine's two sparkling inks: Coalback Nebula and Snowball Nebula. They both shimmer more than any other ink I've tried, even with a fine nib!

    It's an awfully nice pen! (I got this one!)

    It looks nice. However can't remember the last time I used stormy grey so I would have to think twice before buying another one of these inks. If they knocked a few pence off the price and sold it without the glitter I'd buy it without hesitation.
