1.5mm stone-grade tungsten carbide pointed stylus for the ZPT-MA The Maia air scribe. The diameter is engraved on the stylus. 

For use with the 1.5mm head. 

The styli we use in our Maia are fitted with a locking mechanism to prevent rotation. This means you can sharpen the point, and if you do sharpen it off centre it won't matter. 

Stone-grade tungsten carbide is by far the best material for fossil preparation – it withstands the abrasive nature of rock and stays sharp far longer than other metals like steel which will quickly blunt and wear down to nothing. However, tungsten carbide can be brittle. A stylus can last many years without requiring replacement when looked after correctly.

Firstly I have to say that the Maia is a fantastic tool and coupled with the T-Rex you could prepare anything that the Yorkshire Coast can throw up at you! As with all ZOIC stylus’ this one is made using high quality Tungsten and keeps its point sharp for ages before needing a quick ‘tickle’ on a diamond stone to restore its point. Highly recommended.
