BENU AstroGem Fountain Pen - Apollo
This BENU AstroGem fountain pen features a vibrant blue base with red glitter patches throughout. It has a silver Schmidt #6 stainless steel nib, a translucent red resin grip and centerband, 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.
From BENU:
BENU introduces its new collection of fountain pens – AstroGem. This collection was inspired by the shape of the interstellar asteroid, Oumuamua, and the numerous social media comments suggesting that the asteroid has a “BENU-like vibe”. Featuring 7 unique designs, each named after a famous asteroid with edgy shapes and uneven facets, these pens are own interpretation of asteroids- proving that even interstellar objects can be flamboyant and colorful if designed by BENU!
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.
