Is this a three way vote on the same ink? I'm confused. And does it actually come out on paper with the different colour shifts? It's stunning. Love the story of J.Herbin, how romantic!

Hey @AliCatZen -- Yep, what you see here is three photos of the same ink color. We wanted to members to be able to see the first photos of this, and to share first impressions about the color. Also, perhaps most importantly, it gives members a way to be notified when Emerald of Chivor first becomes available on Massdrop. Hope that clears things up, thanks for asking.

Thanks Jonas. The colour is astonishing. I can't wait to get some! :)
Love the colour, but as much as I love to order from massdrop >_> I will buy this at a local store, due to the part being I live in Canada...
Guys you have to look at Ed Jelley's review of this ink! It seems that J. Herbin provided him with a bottle to make a video on it (clever marketing strategy J. Herbin folks, I give you that!), the one you can find on the product page, by the way. It looks gorgeous on both large dip nibs and normal fountain pens! He used a Lamy 2000 with a Broad nib, and both the red sheen and the gold flecks are visible! This would be great, considering that the performance of 1670 series inks on smaller nibs has been one of the reasons that kept me away from them, the other being the presence of the gold flecks themselves. Now, for an ink looking this good even on a simple Lamy broad, I could look over the presence of flecks (I clean my pens too much already, so it wouldn't really be an issue) and go for it. A drop for this ink would likely be a huge hit! A pre-sale would hit the roof, come back, than hit it again, but I can't see J. Herbin agreeing to something like it anyway. Still, if you manage to get a drop up and running by the end of August, count me in already! The other day I was on my way to my local pen shop to try a bottle of Bleu Ocean, as I was really interested in its behavior. But then I read the e-mail about this new ink, so I ended up leaving that one on the shelf (it never appealed me too much anyway, for me Diamine Blue Velvet is still as good as it gets) and buying an Edelstein Amethyst. Yep, I do buy a lot of inks. Still, I'll be eagerly waiting for this drop!
Since everyone giving advice on what nibs/pens to use is saying wide and/or wet, I bet this would work rather well in the Pilot Parallel pens too. It would be pretty cool if it played nice with the Pilot "blending ink" too
To Those who already own this; is there a chance the ink is even a little water resistant?
Would this be able to ship worldwide (Australia)?

They should be able to. I lived in Sydney and I participated in the three colour J. Herbin 1670 ink drop and I received the inks in 2 weeks which is pretty quick considering it's going from France to America to Australia.
I absolutely cannot wait for this ink. Normally I'd order a sample from Goulet before trying an ink this expensive, but I'm planning to buy a bottle (at least) as soon as it is available!
I can't wait for this drop, love the color of this ink.
Started a J. Herbin Dip pen poll to go along with their stunning new ink! Please vote! dro.ps/v/qLhj0Gb
This will definitely be my first J. Herbin sheen ink. Can't wait!
I'm so looking forward to this--I love that combination of the gold flecks and a more traditional sheen. And I also would appreciate being able to but a single bottle.
Actually though, I don't know how I feel about getting this one through Massdrop. If I can get it significantly quicker through a regular retailer, I'll probably do that, especially if Massdrop is going to make me buy more than one bottle of ink.
I also have the others and would prefer being able to choose single bottles. I too find very little gold showing up most of the time. Tips would be appreciated.
I REQUIRE THIS. It's clearly the most beautiful of the four 1670s. I have the Rouge Hématite and the original, pre-shimmer Bleu Océan (which is actually the perfect blue-violet), and I guess I'll just get the other two soon. And maybe while I'm at it even the newer blue with the shimmer. Like I need more ink.
I have the blue and grey versions of the ink in use and an extra red glass just as collectible. I don't use green in a daily use but the color fades out is just great. Even just for time to time usage I think it is a must have.
