Van Dieman's Wilderness Fountain Pen Ink - Hastings Caves

Tasmania is home to some of the deepest and longest cave systems in the world. When brightly lit, this huge complex of dolomite caves at the southern most tip of Tasmania shines a golden brown and glistens with its countless delicate stalactites. Hastings is also home to a natural hot spring that warms the nearby rivers year-round to 280C. We were inspired by the golden brown and honey tones this natural wonder possesses and wanted to illustrate its beautiful lustre. This ink shades from faintest yellow to dark amber, with greenish edging sheens and light silver shimmer.

This is a shimmer ink and you should consult your fountain pen manufacturer for compatability.

1 x Boxed 30ml Bottle of Ink.
