Van Dieman's Underwater - Parrot Fish is a high saturation dye-based shimmer ink featuring a vibrant turquoise base with distinctive purple-pink shimmer particles. While visually striking and unique among teal inks, it requires careful pen maintenance due to shimmer particle clogging and performs best on fountain pen-friendly papers. It suits users seeking a bold, decorative ink for special writing projects rather than everyday use.
