AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Copper is one of the few metals that occur in nature in its native state, i.e., not alloyed with other elements.
This sphere is crafted from pure natural copper, mined from selected mines in the Western United States, one of the most iconic areas for copper mining since the nineteenth century. Its appearance is the unmistakable look of solid copper: a warm metallic surface, with tones ranging from orange-red to golden-brown, crossed by micro natural ripples that reveal its artisanal crafting.
Each sphere is cut from a solid block and polished to maintain the metal’s natural luster, while leaving visible the tiny imperfections typical of handcrafting.
Copper has always been regarded as a sacred metal:
- Associated with Venus, love and harmony,
- It stimulates the energetic flow, aiding the connection between body and spirit,
- It is said to absorb negativity, acting as a shield for the aura,
- Used also to balance the chakras, in particular the second (sacral) and the fourth (heart).
In tradition, copper was used to construct ritual instruments, amulets, water cups, and protective objects. Even today it is employed in grounding practices and for contact with Earth’s energy.
Copper is an excellent conductor of energy, both electrical and symbolic, and is also used in the construction of therapeutic pyramids and radionics circuits.
Its color changes slowly over time: in humid environments it can develop a natural greenish patina (copper oxidized or "verdigris"), but it can be polished to regain the shine as if just 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: Natural copper
Diameter: 50 mm
Weight: 600 g.
