AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Copper is one of the few metals present in its native state in nature, that is, not bound to other elements.
This sphere is crafted from pure natural copper, extracted from select mines in the western United States, one of the most iconic areas for copper extraction since the 19th century. Its appearance is unmistakable: a warm metallic surface with hues ranging from orange-red to golden brown, crisscrossed by natural micro-ripples that reveal its craftsmanship.
Each sphere is carved from a solid block and polished to retain the metal's natural shine, while leaving the typical minimal imperfections visible.
Copper has always been considered a sacred metal:
Associated with Venus, love and harmony,
It stimulates the flow of energy, 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, especially the second (sacral) and fourth (heart).
Traditionally, copper was used to make ritual tools, amulets, water bowls, and protective objects. Even today, it is used in grounding practices and to connect with the 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 radionic circuits.
Its color changes slowly over time: in humid environments it can develop a natural greenish patina (oxidized copper or “copper green”), but it can be polished to restore its freshly forged shine.
This sphere can be used as: A collectible or meditation object, part of a collection of pure metals, or even as an anti-stress tool: holding a copper sphere in your hand stimulates the palm and meridians.
Provenance: Selected mines, Western United States
Composition: Natural copper
Diameter: 50 mm
Weight: 600 gr.
