The material employed in the manufacture of the Visconti Homo Sapiens range of pens is as old as the world; Lava from the Etna volcano, bronze, one of the four precious metals, palladium and titanium.  The lava used for the body and cap is produced from a proprietary new patented process.  It is comprised of equal parts basaltic lava and a secret resin.  The result is a material that is virtually unbreakable essentially flameproof and relaxing for the hand in use.  The cap bands and pocket clip are forged from marine quality bronze.  This requires no further plating and is simply polished to its naturally beauty and finish.

Another unique feature of the Homo Sapiens in the 23K palladium DREAMTOUCH™ nib.  A nib that requires no pressure whatsoever in order to write.  This nib is the highest value nib ever manufactured.  It is 95% pure palladium.  The claim from Visconti is an enhancement of 30% in flexibility when writing over any premium 18k gold nib and additionally palladium cannot be corroded by inks.  The Lava fountain pen filling system is a high vacuum piston filler and is pure titanium for total corrosion resistance.  Nibs: The nib grades available are extra fine, fine, medium, broad, BB and stub.
