A Gatsby Dressed in Purpleheart

A Chrome and Gunmetal Gatsby Dressed in Purpleheart

Purpleheart, sometimes called amaranth, can be found in Central and South America, from Mexico down to southern Brazil. This tree can reach heights of 170 feet with a 5-foot trunk diameter.

Purpleheart starts out with a light lavender color that darkens to a rich purple with exposure to heat.

This streamlined pen with its luminous two-tone plating has mystery, flair, and elegance plus a smooth twist mechanism.

Gunmetal, also known as red brass, is a type of bronze that was once used chiefly for making guns (it has largely been replaced by steel) and is still used for steam and hydraulic castings, valves, gears, statues, and various small objects.

Accepts Parker-style ballpoint refills.
