The magnificent Visconti Homo Sapiens Ball Pen is another unique creation to be added to the Visconti collection. One glance will show the unique appearance and one use will grab your attention forever. Made using ancient crushed lava from Mt Etna combined with resin and crafted by the Visconti master craftsmen into a slightly hydroscopic finish (absorbent), the Homo Sapiens has a pleasurable feel in the hand and means that it will not go shiny with use as do other matt finish pens. The body finish is accented by the stunning pure bronze clip and bands making it a stunning writing instrument.
