The perfect purple

Even without the silver shimmer this purple is one of the most gorgeous that I've seen. The shimmer is subtle, just enough to give a slight sheen without detracting from the beautiful colour. I will note that it's important to stir the ink before filling your pen in order to make sure that the silver particles are evenly distributed. I have not tried this with a very fine nib, only with a medium, so I can't attest to whether it would work as well with one.
