BENU Talisman Fountain Pen - Dream Bean
This BENU Talisman fountain pen features a black and brown resin base with red, yellow, and green holographic sparkles throughout. It has a silver Schmidt #6 stainless steel nib, a black resin grip and accents, a silver clip, and pushes to post. It comes with a standard international converter and one long blue ink cartridge. You can also fill the whole barrel with ink to use as an eyedropper pen with a massive ink capacity.
The African Dream Bean is a climbing vine native to southern Africa, which is used in various ways by traditional communities. However, this curious plant is perhaps most notorious for its ability to induce lucid dreams that enable communication with the spirit world. Some African tribes also use the Dream Bean’s chocolate colored seeds as amulets or good luck charms, stringing them together to create pieces of jewelry. Always fans of exploring the world’s curiosities and turning them into works of art, we’ve chosen this mystical plant as inspiration to our latest BENU creation.
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.
