OFTEN BOUGHT TOGETHER :
This unique Native Copper specimen is a gorgeous piece, showing off the rough texture and incredible beauty of the natural metal. Raw Copper nuggets like these can slowly oxidize over time to take on other colors, but presently this cluster displays the beautiful warm-brown tones that Copper is known for. It has not been polished, so it has natural rustic beauty straight from Mother Earth and does not possess a high shine. Native Copper nuggets like this one are often fashioned into pieces of bohemian jewelry, since they are wonderful for wire wrapping and can be used to make amulets or statement pendants.
The spiritual meaning of Copper is all about the relay of energy, removing negativity and stagnation so that we will be ready for new experiences, connections, and ideas. In this way, Copper is believed to help direct and amplify the energy between people, and also of our intentions. It is often used as a conductor of spiritual healing and cleansing, since Copper is known for preventing outside interference from malicious spirits and envious onlookers. It's no surprise that Copper is often used when making protective amulets and gemstone jewelry, since it is associated with maintaining positive power, purity of intent, and mindfulness. Resonating strongly with the Root Chakra and Sacral Chakra, Copper is a fantastic metal to work with for anyone seeking stability, self confidence, and motivation.
Copper is a natural and highly ductile metal, known for being an amazing conductor of electricity and heat. Throughout history, it has served a wide variety of industrial uses, and is still very much in demand! Copper can be found combined with many other minerals, such as Malachite, which is how Malachite gets its deep green color. This is because over time, Copper can oxidize and takes on a greenish patina, such as the one seen on the Statue of Liberty.
Copper is approximately 2.5 - 3 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it rather soft, so care should be taken to avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleansers that could damage your Copper nugget!
This is Native Copper from Michigan, USA.
