Its natural patina and irregular shapes make it look very different from polished metal. It makes a memorable gift for engineers, geologists and people who appreciate raw, natural materials.

About Native Copper

Native Copper is copper that occurs naturally in its pure metallic form rather than combined in an ore. It can form branching, sheet-like or nugget-like shapes. Copper is soft and malleable at about 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale and naturally develops a brown, dark or green patina over time when exposed to air and moisture.

Traditional Meanings & Benefits

In chakra practice, Native Copper is traditionally linked with the Root and Sacral Chakras. Native Copper is often displayed alongside Malachite, another copper mineral.

How to Use Your Native Copper
