Description

Visconti adds a new dimension to the iconic Homo Sapiens Lava series with the Lava Color series. The Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava Color Blizzard, also known as the Ash White, is a particularly beautiful and memorable example.  A special finishing technique both adds color to the basaltic lava, harvested from the slopes of Mt. Etna in Italy, and also provides a smooth anti-stain coating.

These pens have a pleasing tactile feel in the hand that make them a favorite for many in the fountain pen community. A special galvanic treatment gives the dark trim a subtle glossy shine, while the cap and barrel seal together with a convenient and innovative magnetic lock.

The14k Ruthenium nib is provided in your choice of Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and a stock Stub. The broader nib sizes provide a terrific basis for our regrind customizations such as Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique.

The 1.3 mm stock Stub nib, meanwhile, is an excellent choice for our well-known Architects Point customization. As these are 14k nibs, they can also be provided with our modification for added Flex – finer tipping sizes are usually the best choice for Flex customizations.

Whether you choose to have your nib customized by us not, our free nib tuning services help ensure that the Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava Color Blizzard will have excellent writing qualities equal to its highly memorable appearance.
