With Ethergraf tip, the modern heir to the Silverpoint, consisting of an innovative metal alloy that "scratches" ordinary paper and oxidizes it, leaving an imprint as light as graphite, but timeless as ink, an indelible pencil-like but never-ending stroke inspired by the studies of the brilliant Renaissance artist, scientist and humanist. Matte aluminum casing with central body in solid walnut wood. Guarded by a case or "Codex" based on the "Cryptes" that the writer Dan Brown devised for his bestseller "The Da Vinci Code". A device that, as in the novel, hides a precious object that can only be accessed by guessing the correct sequence of letters. Original box and documentation enclosed. New, brand new.
