Visconti is pleased to announce the launch of the Homo Sapiens collection, the most highly anticipated pen of 2010. Made from material as ancient as the world around us, the Visconti Homo Sapiens is the first pen ever forged from volcanic lava. The lava is from Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy.

Lava is virtually unbreakable having a high degree of resilience, it is heat resistant to over 100 degrees centigrade, is hydroscopic, meaning that it absorbs sweat, and has a dense feel making it comfortable to grip and relaxing to write with. Bronze fittings complete the look, while the cap features the spring-loaded latch and catch system, requiring only a 20 degree twist to operate.
