From the Mont Blanc website:
Every detail of the Limited Edition Alexander von Humboldt pays tribute to the great naturalist and leading cultural patron. His spirit of discovery is brought to life in every detail in this Limited Edition.
In the 4810 edition ...the spine and corpus are made of black grenadille, a luxurious hardwood from the southern hemisphere. The inlay, clip and bindings are reproduced in 925 sterling silver bringing to mind the art of the native indians whose culture Humboldt studied on his South American expedition.
The 18 K gold nib is platinum-plated and bears a fine engraving of a sextant, one of Humboldt's favourite instruments which aided his research and surveying around the world on his voyages of discovery.
