I wanted a gold ink for doing some highlighting in a colouring book, so I selected Van Dieman Ink's Honeybee as this week's new bottle to open. I failed to read the full description. _Silly_ me. As the bulk chromatography experiment in the bathroom sink is currently demonstrating, it is a very, very high dye black base with green-gold shimmer.
The currently drying swatches reveal a very pretty ink, but not quite what I was looking for. :-)
