I periodically go through the pens on my desk and write a few lines with each, mainly to keep the flow going in the feeds since I don't use each pen every day. But also to see the pretty colors. :) I was doing this tonight using my new Black n' Red spiral when I noticed the Lamy Coral looked, well, kind of odd. Upon closer inspection ...

 

:yikes: omg, omg, omg! Gold sheen! Sparkly gold sheen! Oodles of it! Look!

If I sound surprised, I am; neither yogalarva nor visvamitra said anything about sheen in their reviews and I saw nothing in the "Inks with a sheen" thread in my admittedly quick perusal, though Diamine Coral was mentioned. I'll add this pic there also.

 

The pen was my Pelikano medium, btw

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I've noticed that several inks will do this after they have concentrated from sitting in the pen for awhile.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
