MARIMO MOSS BALL POINT PEN
The Marimo is a living moss (or algae) ball found growing in lakes in Iceland, Scotland, Japan, and Estonia exclusively. Each lake’s current swirls the little plant around and around so it grows naturally into a petite pom-pom shape. This curious creature’s name is a portmanteau of two Japanese words, “mari” meaning “bouncy ball,” and “mo” a term for plants that grow underwater. The sweet, sphere-shaped Marimo is adored around the globe: the Japanese believe that it will bring good luck, and in Iceland it is believed that if you take good care of Marimo ball, it will “make your wishes come true.”
