Passion
Ecstasy, Intensity. The art is Flames, the material Flame Red. Therefore, the clip art and material compliment the Virtue name.
Celestial
Astral, Eternal. The art is Stars and Half Moon, the material Space Blue. As such, the art and material compliment the Virtue name.
Integrity
Purity, Honesty. The art is Halos, the material Amethyst Mauve. The clip art showcases three Halos, slanted to the left and right.
Harmony
Ying, Yang (Male, Female).The art represents the known symbols of Ying and Yang (Male, Female). the material is Forest Green, in Japanese Young Green Trees, in other words, new life.
Essence
Earth, Diamond. The clip art represents a Diamond, complimenting the Diamond Brown material of the Essence LB6.
Humanity
Commonality, global mankind. The clip art represents a one piece Toga gown which confirms the ideal of Humanity in various countries around the world.
Superb Detailing
Paul Rossi hand crafts each and every LB6 Virtues art pen. The clips are textured by Paul with a design to compliment both the name, and the material finish of each art pen. The Passion clip is textured with flames, the Celestial with stars and semi moon.
Each of the LB6 Virtues art pen finish follows the same poetic theme. All 10 pens are hand crafted by Paul Rossi, furthermore, the diffusion bonded materials vary slightly in appearance. As such, all 10 art pens are a little different from one another and therefore unique.
Reviews
Lambrou Pens LB6 "Humanity" review by The Pen Habit
Written review at this link:
LAMBROU PENS LB6 “HUMANITY” | FOUNTAIN PEN REVIEWNOTE: The review mentions the LB6 having a 14-karat gold nib. It is in fact an 18-karat gold nib.
The new LB6 series recently launched by Andy Lambrou is absolutely stunning! It builds upon the legacy of the LB5, but in my mind, takes it to the next level.
LB6 Virtues Essence and LB5 Amethyst Mauve As an owner of several LB5 pens, and having recently acquired 2 LB6s, I can say that the new line is every bit as good as what it builds upon.
What is special about this pen, is its balance and ease of use. Even though it is a very substantial pen, the section girth should not be a factor for most people given the design and the edge. The pen feels great in the hand, though not one you can post (which you should have no reason to do).
LB6 Virtues Essence and LB5 Amethyst Mauve There has been enough said and written about the famous diffusion bonded material. Needless to say, in this larger and faceted form (which is an optional design feature), the material really shines!
The section material is Carville black and treated for stability like the other diffusion bonded acrylics. In my opinion, this was a good way to go since it has all the strength and stability of the rest of the pen, set off in black as a nice contrast (similar to the black section and diffusion bonded acrylics of the LB5 series).
Finally, the ability to customize the pen (facets, trim color), and that it is hand made by Paul Rossi, makes this pen truly special for me.
