Rarer than diamonds, older than dinosaurs, the Muonionalusta Meteorite Fountain Pen by Montegrappa is a truly once-in-a-lifetime creation as rare as the 4.5-billion-year-old meteorite it holds. Putting even limited edition artistic creations to shame is this writing instrument harnessing a piece of Mother Nature that existed before pens were invented. Made of 18K Gold, this interstellar creation is based on an exclusive original design, the Extra 1930 silhouette, long regarded as the ultimate icon of the Italian maison. A writing instrument that is truly out of this world, it brings together fragments of the Muonionalusta meteorite and the nobility of 18-karat gold.
The skilled Montegrappa craftsmen deliver a writing instrument that transforms your signature into a timeless mark. The beautiful, understated fountain pen boasts a hand-polished barrel which reveals the meteorite’s natural iron-nickel crystalline structure as the pen’s distinctive pattern. The 18k gold cap band is engraved with the geographic coordinates of the first Muonionalusta discovery site, while the clip and roller are inspired by the trajectory of a meteorite entering the atmosphere.
The Muonionalusta, an iron meteorite, was discovered in Sweden and makes for the ultimate collectible in the form of the Muonionalusta Meteorite Fountain Pen. The celestial theme continues on the 18k gold nib and carries a meteorite engraving of its own. Despite the eye-watering $95,000 price tag, the writing instrument already appears to be sold out on the brand’s website.
