Several inks by J Herbin do this.
If it's a gift buy it new. It's [19$](J.Herbin 1670 Anniversary Fountain Pen Ink - Emerald of Chivor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0124DT9L6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_61jnyb008JFSK) in amazon it might be worth it.
I found it here on US Amazon . I doubt it's available at someplace like Hobby Lobby or Michael's, but you never know.
I'm sure it can be used with a quill, but I suspect the effects won't be nearly as grand. I've tried it with a dip pen and it wasn't great. I've tried it in several fountain pens and the effects vary wildly. I've found it looks best with a smooth, juicier fountain pen.
Many cheap papers will bleed/feather with any kind of fountain pen ink. You'll need something that's a little heavier and, preferably, smoother. The smoother and less absorbent the paper, the more the ink sits on top and creates the awesome effects as it dries. However, it doesn't have to be expensive paper - I've had a lot of luck with slightly-nicer-than-dirt-cheap papers.
/r/fountainpens has taught me everything I know; highly recommended if you're at all interested!
I went through a lot of trial and error in the process almost ruining my 1.5mm parallel pen. But I finally learned and I've had great success with J. Herbin ink and Winsor & Newton Calligraphy Ink. What I do is save the old cartridges that come with the parallels, including the little ball that rolls around and I refill them using these syringes. This was done using the J. Herbin ink linked above.
That's actually on my to-buy list. I'm more of a extra-fine guy so I think I'll go with that. I got a converter and have some Diamine ink on hand so hopefully that'll work. I just found this beautiful ink! I'm hoping I can get a bottle of it and test it out soon
I would recommend a Pilot Custom Heritage 912 with a FA nib. And also a few shading inks like J.Herbin Emerald of Chivor, Noodler's Apache Sunset, and Noodler's Black Swan Australian Rose.
There are also several flex pens that have been restored by u/willvintage on sale over on his website.
