COLOR
Edelstein Golden Lapis is a beautiful bright cobalt blue with a bright golden shimmer
CHARACTER
This ink has an intense amount of shimmer in swatches, but in writing it is fairly limited. I suspect the shimmer particles are heavier, leading them to settle out quicker.
This ink has a fun amount of shading, showing off bright blue tones. It very rarely shows a dark red sheen, and it takes a lot of squinting to see it in regular writing.
CONSISTENCY
I found Golden Lapis to be fairly dry but still smooth. I didn't have any flow issues during normal writing. It does bleed through pretty regularly, but doesn't feather easily.

CONCLUSION
This is such a fun ink! It's a bit brighter in tone than most of my other shimmery blues. I wish the shimmer showed up more in regular writing, but maybe its sparseness is the sacrifice to make for a writing experience that isn't interrupted by clogged feeds.
