AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Copper is one of the few metals found in its native state in nature, i.e., not bound to other elements.
This sphere is made of pure native copper, sourced from selected mines in the western United States, one of the most iconic areas for copper mining since the nineteenth century. The appearance is the unmistakable look of solid copper: a warm metallic surface, with hues ranging from reddish-orange to golden-brown, crisscrossed by tiny natural ripples that reveal its artisanal workmanship.
Each sphere is carved from a solid block and polished to maintain the metal's natural luster, while leaving visible the tiny imperfections typical of the material.
Copper has always been considered a sacred metal:
Associated with Venus, love, and harmony,
It stimulates energetic flow, promoting the connection between body and spirit,
It is said to absorb negativity, acting as a shield for the aura,
Also used to balance the chakras, particularly the second (sacral) and the fourth (heart).
Traditionally, copper was used to craft ritual tools, amulets, water cups, and protective objects. Even today it is employed in grounding practices and for contact with Earth energy.
Copper is an excellent conductor of energy, both electrical and symbolic, and it is also used in the construction of therapeutic pyramids and radionic circuits.
Its color slowly changes over time: in humid environments it may develop a natural greenish patina (oxidized copper or “copper green”), but it can be polished to return to a shine like freshly forged.
This sphere can be used as: a collectible or meditation object, part of a collection of pure metals, or even as a stress-relief tool: holding a copper sphere in the hand stimulates the palm and the meridians.
Origin: Selected mines, Western United States
Composition: Native copper
Diameter: 50 mm
