Three Benu Talisman Pens Worth a Look: Tree Unicorn, Dark Unicorn, and Raven

Introduction

Some pens are meant to be tools. Others bring a little more personality to the desk. The three Talisman pens sit firmly in the second camp: they are playful, sparkly, and built around a small idea that sets them apart from ordinary resin fountain pens. All three are exclusive to the Gourmet Pen Shop and made in collaboration with Benu, each one carrying a special substance inside the barrel along with its own attributed meaning.

This guide walks through what makes each pen distinct, so you can pick the one that matches your taste and what you want the pen to represent.

Why the Talisman Collection Is Different

The Talisman model takes Benu’s signature glitter-heavy resin and adds a special substance to each pen. Every pen in the collection has a magical attribution, so choosing one is part aesthetic decision and part personal statement. The idea is simple: enjoy the pen, use it to guide you toward balance and harmony, or simply enjoy the fun colors and sparkles. There is no wrong way to use it.

If you already like bold, sparkly pens, the collection is an easy fit. If you prefer understated writing instruments, these may be a fun departure rather than a daily carry.

Tree Unicorn: Pink and Baby Blue Sparkle

The Tree Unicorn is the lightest and brightest of the three. Its barrel mixes pink with baby blue and turquoise tones, and the special substance inside is the tree unicorn plant, which is exactly what the sparkling material in the pen represents. It is the most cheerful of the lineup and suits writers who want a pen that feels light and optimistic on the desk.

Dark Unicorn: The Charred Counterpart

The Dark Unicorn shares its core idea with the Tree Unicorn: it also contains the tree unicorn plant. The difference is that this plant has been burned, which gives the pen its darker, moodier character. Visually it is the counterpart to the pink-and-blue Tree Unicorn, trading pastel sparkle for a deeper tone while keeping the same glitter-rich Benu look.

It is a good pick if you like the Talisman concept but want something with more presence and less brightness.

Raven: Feather and Symbolism

The Raven takes a different path entirely. Instead of a plant, it contains raven feather inside the pen, and the feather is naturally shed. Ravens are known for invoking mystical wisdom, protection, and connection, and that symbolism carries through to the pen’s darker, richer character.

Among the three, the Raven is the one to reach for if the meaning matters to you as much as the writing experience.

Which Talisman Pen Fits You

All three share the same core appeal: glittery Benu resin, a special substance in the barrel, and a meaning you can make your own. The Tree Unicorn fits writers drawn to bright pastel sparkle. The Dark Unicorn suits those who want the same concept in a deeper tone. The Raven is for writers who connect with the symbolism of wisdom, protection, and connection. Any of them works equally well if your goal is simply to enjoy fun colors and sparkles every time you uncap your pen.

Conclusion

The three Talisman pens are a charming blend of craft and personality. Because they are exclusive to the Gourmet Pen Shop, availability is limited compared with Benu’s standard lineup, so if one of them matches your taste, it is worth picking up while you can.
