Esterbrook - Estie Fountain Pen - Gold Trim - Petrified Forest
This pen is inspired by the classic Americana of Route 66 and the Painted Desert along the highway.
Millions of years ago, the trees of the Petrified Forest, in NE Arizona, were toppled by volcanic eruptions, and then swept away by flowing water and deposited in marshes. They were covered with mud and volcanic ash, and layers of sediment. The logs remained buried for millions and millions of years, undergoing an extremely slow process of petrifaction which essentially turned the logs to colourful stone. The area became covered with an ocean, covering the logs with even more sediment. Then, about 60 million years ago, the ocean disappeared and was replaced by flowing rivers. The rivers gradually eroded away over 2,600 feet of sediment, slowly exposing the petrified wood that litters the landscape at the Petrified Forest National Park.
