Its natural sculpturing includes pronounced indentations, fine pitting and subtle ridges that give the stone a wonderfully organic character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe artisan has constructed an elaborate, elongated copper frame around the specimen, incorporating tightly woven wire, decorative coils and beautifully formed scrollwork. The warm, antiqued copper complements the deep green Moldavite, while the open setting allows much of its natural surface to remain visible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes this particular pendant especially impressive is the extraordinary attention given to the reverse.
