This rollerball pen is made from Red Mallee burl. Red Mallee wood is from a hotsell tree in the genus eucalyptus, which is native to Australia. Burl is a buildup of unsprouted and dormant buds found on the trunk of the tree, Because burl growth is irregular, when exposed, the wood does not display a straight grain, but rather the unpredictable swirly patterns and small bark inclusions that you see here. This makes each product using burl absolutely beautiful and completely unique.
The Magnetic Vertex Supreme style pens utilize a Schmidt rollerball refill which write extremely smoothly. Because rollerball pens can dry out, these pens must be capped. While most rollerball pen caps are threaded and screw onto the nib end to secure it, this pen has a magnetic cap that will quickly and firmly post to either end. The pen components have a 24K gold plated finish which contrasts well with the wood. Capped, the pen is about 5 1/2 inches long, and about 6 3/4 inches when the nib is exposed and the cap is posted. The pen is about 5/8 of an inch in diameter at its widest point.
The wood is finished with a durable, clear acrylic that will protect and preserve the beauty of the wood for a very long time. A velvet pouch and windowed gift box will be included with the pen.
