My Aurora Fuoco Aurea Minima LE arrived today from Pam Braun, and gosh it's sweet! cloud9.gif



Optima Mini - Bordeaux, 14K EF Stub.
2006 Sole (Sun) Aurea Minima LE - 18K EF.
2007 Fuoco (Fire) Aurea Minima LE - 18K EF.

I have all of the Mini pens now... except the plain Black Optima Mini, which is boring anyway. wink.gif I'd love another gold-trim Mini though - the Primavera auroloide would be perfect!

I won't review the Fuoco LE, because these Mini pens are all variations on the same theme (only the colour and nib-alloy changes). Information and specs can be found in my previous reviews:

Actually, I would recommend the regular green Auroloide colour. I've seen the Primavera and the regular green live (I have a regular green BP), and I must say the regular is the more elegant colour. While the Primavera is of bright, grass-green colour (for me the least atractive among Sole, Mare and Primavera LEs), the regular green is actually a mix of green, dark/black and turquoise bits.

I have to agree with you. My emerald Optima is the most beautiful pen I own.
