AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Copper is one of the few metals found in native form in nature, that is, not alloyed with other elements.
This sphere is made of pure native copper, extracted 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 tones ranging from orange-red to golden-brown, crossed by micro natural ripples that reveal the artisanal craftsmanship.
Each sphere is carved from a solid block and polished to maintain the metal’s natural brilliance, while keeping visible the minimal imperfections typical.
Copper has always been considered a sacred metal:
Associated with Venus, love, and harmony,
It stimulates energy flow, promoting the connection between body and spirit,
It is said to absorb negativities, acting as a shield for the aura,
Used also to balance the chakras, particularly the second (sacral) and the fourth (heart).
In tradition, copper was used to build ritual tools, amulets, cups for water, and protective objects. Even today it is used 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 slowly changes over time: in humid environments it can develop a natural green patina (copper oxide or “verdigris”), but it can be polished to shine again 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
