Lepidolite Dumka
Lepidolite Dumka
Special Edition; may not come back.
I love this hard rubber. Just love it. It’s a mix of lavender and pink, bold and vibrant. It doesn’t create an illusion of depth, but it’s as satisfying to look at as the mineral it's named after.
The lavender and pink colors are mostly balanced, but the patterns can vary like wood grain. If you have a preference, mention it in the order comments. I'll try to accommodate, but please understand it's all subjective and supply-dependent.
The Dumka is a thicker Soubriquet. That is the size and shape. This is the pen with the biggest diameter (ø .56” at cap threads) made by Desiderata Pen Company.
It features Rapid Release® threads to facilitate capping and uncapping. The cap comes off…rapidly and easily.
Screw Piston Filler. The knob doesn’t come off! Unscrew counterclockwise until it stops and turn clockwise to draw up ink.
