In Greek mythology, Gaea was the mother of all life. She is said to have born the Ourea (mountains) and Pontus (sea). For this reason, the Monteverde, in it's sea-green and earth-toned body, has been named after the mythical goddess. This is the first limited edition Truphae exclusive. It is not numbered, but is limited to 300 pieces.
The pen comes presented in Monteverde's popular Giant Sequoia shaped body - another appropriate shape, given the earth tones of this large pen. The Giant Sequoia is the world's grandest and largest living tree. The pen reflects this grandness by offering a large, solid resin barrel. Ergonomically designed, the GiantåÊSequoia feels poised and balanced in the hand and begs to be used daily. The fountain pen fills via standard cartridge/ converter (included) andåÊfeatures aåÊlargeåÊstainless steel nib. Polished chrome accents are durable and scratch resistant and decidedly minimalist on this design, letting the beauty of resin shine through.
I have no experience with the Monteverde brand when receiving this pen. I was extremely impressed! The beefiness of this pen is right up my alley. I am not petite and I don't enjoy a thin pen. But the Gaea- she is a beauty. I love the teal and brown Tortoise shell coloring on the cap and body. The silver accents are complimentary to the pen coloring. The pen is not heavy as the size would suggest. The cap posts perfectly but does as a bit of unbalanced weight. I like using it un-posted for this reason. I got the broad nib and it's lovely! I have since obtained two more Monteverde pens, and they are all fantastic.
Another enjoyable pen by Monteverde! I received the Monteverde Gaea Fountain Pen with a fine nib pen in a subscription box. What a nice pen to hold and the acrylic is wonderful to look at! I prefer pens with a #6 nib and this pen has it. While the pen posts securely, it does back-weight the pen, slightly.
