The Homo Sapiens Skylight fountain pen is handmade from hardened basaltic lava sourced from the Mount Etna volcano in Italy, with a trim made of solid bronze, and it features an oversized 18kt gold nib to match the trim color. The new Skylight features ink windows in the barrel of the pen and near the section, to allow you to see the ink level in both reservoirs of the pen. Visconti lava is virtually unbreakable, comfortable and warm to the touch - and slightly hygroscopic, absorbing moisture from your hand. The basaltic lava is mixed with resin to create this pen.

The fountain pen caps by using the Visconti 'Hook Safe Lock', a revolutionary capping system so you can cap a pen without worrying about the cap accidentally unscrewing in your pocket or pen case, and leaking. The vacuum power filler is made of titanium to resist ink corrosion. The Homo sapiens fountain pen can also be customized with the magnetized MyPen System, such as natural stones, zodiac signs, or initials that you can swap into the finial in place of the Visconti logo coin.

Some nib options may take 7 - 10 days to ship.
