AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
### Material & Inclusions
Authentic Baltic amber with a warm, transparent golden tone, containing a beautifully preserved PARASITIC WASP. The insect shows classic hymenopteran features, including long segmented antennae, slender legs, a narrow waist, and delicate wings with clear venation. The overall body structure is sharply defined, allowing excellent visibility of the thorax, abdomen, and limb positioning. The surrounding resin includes natural micro-debris, minute bubbles, and subtle internal flow lines that emphasize the amber’s genuine prehistoric formation.
### Craftsmanship & Presentation
Expertly shaped into a tall, elegant elongated form with smooth, even polishing across all surfaces. The pendant is fitted with a sturdy 925 sterling silver bail that complements the clean clarity of the amber. Its elongated shape highlights the insect beautifully, allowing bright light to pass through the golden resin and illuminate the wasp from both sides. A refined piece ideal for fossil enthusiasts, collectors, and admirers of natural history.
