The birthstone of September babies, sapphires have been considered precious for millennia. They have been associated with the Greek god Apollo and were said to have been worn by the Oracle of Delphi. In modern times, sapphires symbolize harmony between lovers and amity in social settings. 

This gem is the inspiration for the Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Sapphire, a rare release of only 388 units. It features a deep blue, marbled resin body with streaks of black and white, and a beautiful metallic sheen that replicates the vibrancy and depth of sapphires. It has palladium-plated silver trims, a cap with Visconti’s proprietary Hook Safe Lock, and the Double Reservoir Power Filler mechanism. The pen carries an 18-karat gold nib with a palladium finish. 

We have for sale a brand-new Visconti Homo Sapiens Limited Edition Dark Sapphire fountain pen with an M nib. It comes complete with its box, papers, and other inclusions. 

Length capped: 14.6 cm. 
Length uncapped: 13.2 cm.
