COPPER JEWELRY: MEANINGS, POWER & USES
What is Copper?
Copper is a reddish-brown flexible metal characterized by high conductivity. It is also found in many gemstones, from Malachite to Turquoise and Chrysocolla. One of the most fascinating facts about copper is that it is the third most abundant trace element in our bodies. That means we are deeply connected to this soft, shiny ore.
History
Copper has a long history. It first made its appearance in 77 AD, under the Greek name Cyprium, which refers to Cyprus; the country in which the metal was mainly mined. The name was later changed to Cuprum and eventually to the name we know: copper. When it was discovered in Greece, it was often polished and used as mirrors. The Greeks linked the metal to the goddesses of love: Aphrodite and Venus. Later, copper was used as currency in Rome. And by the Egyptians to purify water and keep wounds clean. It wasn't until the 1970s that the West began to recognize the healing elements of copper.
