About the Item
From the Sahara to your desk: this handcrafted letter opener is embellished with an authentic Orthoceras fossil shell with a compact, elliptical shape, smooth surface, and unrepeatable natural patterns.
The beveled polished brass blade, designed by Nino Basso for the Fossiline collection, meets the strength of prehistoric material in a functional and artistic object.
Each specimen is different due to the unique texture of the fossil in dark tones.
