Description from the seller
Copper is one of the few metals that occurs in nature in its native state, not bound to other elements.
This sphere is made of pure natural copper, extracted from selected mines in the western United States, one of the most iconic regions for copper mining since the nineteenth century. The appearance is the unmistakable look of solid copper: a warm metallic surface, with shades ranging from orange-red to golden-brown, pierced by natural micro-ripples that reveal its artisanal craftsmanship.
Each sphere is cut from a solid block and polished to maintain the metal’s natural brilliance, while keeping visible the minimal imperfections typical of handwork.
Copper has always been considered a sacred metal:
- Associated with Venus, with love and harmony,
- It stimulates energetic flow, fostering the connection between body and spirit,
- It is said to absorb negativity, acting as a shield for the aura,
- It is used to balance the chakras, particularly 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 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 greenish patina (copper oxidized or "copper green"), but it can be polished to shine again as if 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 meridians.
Origin: Selected mines, Western United States
Composition: Natural copper
Diameter: 50 mm
