Visconti Homo Sapiens Over Rollerball

Visconti Homo Sapiens more than five thousand years ago with the invention of writing the pre-history of mankind ceases and Homo Sapiens marks the eve of human history.

The material of this pencil is as old as the world: the lava of the Etna volcano. Visconti has successfully produced a material containing more than 50% pure basalt lava, catalyzed with resin in a patented formula, which it obviously keeps secret, whose extraordinary characteristics practically make it a perfectly suitable material for musical instruments.

Practically unbreakable: it has a high degree of resistance, 10 times more than the same resin pen. Fireproof, the Visconti lava has a heat resistance of more than 100 ° C.

Slightly hygroscopic which allows it to absorb sweat from the hand during use. The inspiration comes from the Bronze Age, which is almost contemporary to the invention of writing, for all metal parts.

The clip, rings and metal fittings, with the exception of the piston, are bronze. Natural bronze is the oldest formula, which does not require coating or protection treatments that could alter its original almost pink color, and it can be easily polished with special products.
