Moth Ginkgo Copper Pendant 2

This is a beautiful truly statement piece for all moth and botanical lovers. This is a natural harvested Ginkgo leaf that has been preserved in copper. This leaf has been copper formed using an electroforming technique to allow copper ions suspended in a specially formulated acide bath, to be formed onto an object via electricity.

Considered a living fossil, the ginkgo tree has no known living relatives and has endured for millions of years with little change. In fact, ginkgo is the oldest surviving species of tree known to exist, with a botanical history spanning more than 200 million years. This demonstration of resilience, combined with its antiquity, has granted the tree many symbolic meanings throughout the world. It has become a symbol of strength, hope and peace for many.

the ginkgo has also been known as a symbol of longevity (the tree can live for a thousand years) and of a more profound endurance (four ginkgos survived the blast at Hiroshima and are still growing today). (Smithsonianeducation)
