Van Dieman's Ink - Night Aurora Australis - 2ml Sample

2ml sample of Van Diemans Night Aurora Australis fountain pen ink, in a labeled plastic vial.

Ink Samples are a great way to try out new inks without investing in the expense of a full bottle. 2mls is normally good enough to fill a converter 1-2 times giving ample examples of how the ink writes.

1 x 2ml Vial.

Aurora Australis is a spectacularly vibrant ink that replicates the dancing green and purple ominous glows that swirl in the sky when the southern hemisphere is lit up by the highly charged particles fired at us from the sun during a Coronal Mass Ejection. The combination of pink-purple, dark magenta-black, and bright green are a result of the high saturation of two dyes that combine to create these effects in the ink. The true colour of the ink is the light pinky tone, but this is accompanied by the darker tone in heavy writing, and the bright green sheen on good quality fountain pen friendly paper.

Van Dieman's Night Series

We have discontinued the old "Midnight" Series, which focused more on the "spooky" and the "scary" of nighttime, and refocused on the night itself as a source of inspiration. We have reformulated and massively improved three of the most popular inks from the original Midnight series, but also created 13 new inks, all of which are exciting innovations.
