This pen is built on a Sierra Elegant Beauty frame of Black Titanium and Platinum. Both these platings are among the most premium platings available and they compliment each other well. The Elegant Beauty itself is one of the most elegant, well balanced pens we make and is made of the finest components. It uses an extremely reliable twist cap mechanism and a Parker style ballpoint refill. Parker refills can also be purchased in gel point if preferred. This pen measures approximately 5 1/2 inches long by 7/16 inches in diameter. The barrel of this one is a piece of hand turned "Original Cactus Blank"TM. Original Cactus Blanks are hand made pen blanks made from Texas Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia lindheimeri Engelm.var. lindheimeri), the state plant of Texas. Portions of the cactus are harvested, processed, and cast in urethane resin to make the blank. Only naturally dead pads are harvested and no damage is done to the living plant. It comes in a gray velour style gift case and ships free by USPS Priority Mail. "Original Cactus Blank" is a registered trademark of TurnTex Woodworking. Combine with MC714 Money Clip to make a great gift.
