Ink Review #358: Kala Nostalgia Gemstone Hematite

Today I will be reviewing Kala Hematite. This is a dark warm brown. Hematite is an iron oxide mineral found in rocks and soils. The color is a reddish-brown.

Swabs:

This ink had no shading and medium gold sheen. The color is chalk-like when dry, similar to Bermuda Mistery. This brown reminds me of coffee beans.
