Thuya Burl Executive Fountain Pen

Also called citron or thyine, thuya burls grow underground in the Atlas Mountains of Northern Africa - and nowhere else. It has been highly prized for millennia. It is said that the wife of Cicero owned a thuya desk worth the equivalent of $50,000 in todays dollars. It is one of the very few wood species to earn mention in the Bible (Revelation 18:12). The visually striking nature, aromatic fragrance, and extreme scarcity make it highly prized to this day.

The Executive Fountain format features a wooden screw-on pen cap made from the same piece of wood as the pen body.
