{"product_id":"visconti-homo-sapiens-crystal-dream-fountain-pen","title":"Visconti Homo Sapiens Crystal Dream Fountain Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Crystal Dream takes the standard Homo Sapiens formula and opens it up — literally. A large section of the lava body has been cut away and replaced with a clear crystal acrylic tube, turning the pen into a partial demonstrator. It's a smart modification: you keep the tactile character of the lava material on the sections where your hand actually rests, while the window in the barrel gives you a genuine view of the ink and filling mechanism inside. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat filling mechanism is worth discussing on its own. Where the standard Homo Sapiens uses Visconti's single-reservoir power filler, the Crystal Dream is upgraded to the double-reservoir system — a vacuum filler built entirely from titanium, with capacity equivalent to roughly 10 standard cartridges. The practical benefit of the second reservoir is meaningful: the dual-chamber design prevents ink from leaking during air travel, which makes this a legitimate travel pen despite its size. There's also a smaller crystal acrylic ring at the grip section — replacing the metal ring of the standard model — which offers a view into the second, smaller reservoir so you can monitor both chambers independently. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEverything else carries over from the original: the body is the same proprietary blend of over 50% basaltic lava from Mount Etna, warm and slightly textured in hand, with solid bronze trim throughout. The bronze elements are raw and untreated — keep them polished with a cloth, or let them develop a patina over time. The cap uses the Hook Safe Lock, and the spring-loaded arc clip is modeled after the arches of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. The nib is an 18k gold in rose gold, sized EF through Stub.\u003cbr\u003eOne thing worth noting: the lava body can show small natural markings and variations — this is characteristic of the material, not a quality issue. No two pens look quite identical. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eBody: Basaltic lava \/ resin composite (\u0026gt;50% lava) with crystal acrylic ink window\u003cbr\u003eTrim: Solid natural bronze\u003cbr\u003eNib: 18k gold, rose gold plated — EF \/ F \/ M \/ B \/ Stub\u003cbr\u003eFilling: Double-reservoir vacuum power filler (titanium)\u003cbr\u003eCap: Hook Safe Lock\u003cbr\u003eBottled ink only\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visconti","offers":[{"title":"EF","offer_id":45587440632006,"sku":"os111173345587440632006","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"F","offer_id":45587440664774,"sku":"os111173345587440664774","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":45587440697542,"sku":"os111173345587440697542","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"B","offer_id":45587440730310,"sku":"os111173345587440730310","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"S","offer_id":45587440763078,"sku":"os111173345587440763078","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/9843\/7318\/files\/o_1j4unnkd182o1rkojq1h5s1efml.jpg?v=1777750795","url":"https:\/\/epsilongoods.com\/products\/visconti-homo-sapiens-crystal-dream-fountain-pen","provider":"Epsilon Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
