My sample showed up yesterday, perfectly intact. This isn't a color I have a lot of experience with so it's hard for me to guess what it could be. The writing sample was done using a VAC 700 with a very wet BLS nib and a MB146 with a well tuned F nib.
The ink color is very different depending on the pen. If you squint you can almost see a little red sheen on the edges of the BLS writing (the red shows a little more on the drop test at the bottom of the page) but I suspect the 146 is more what one should expect in terms of color from a typical nib. This is too bad because I like the darker color from the BLS much more than the 146.
I have two similar inks in my collection, Iroshizuku Ama-Iro and Pelikan Topaz, though neither seem like an exact match.
The ink seems well behaved but I won't know until testing on other papers later this week.
Thanks for letting me play with an interesting ink.
