Copper

Colour: Reddish brown   Countries found in: Zambia, Zaire, Japan   If copper is exposed to oxygen, it tarnishes and develops a green colour.   Metaphysical Properties: Legends say that copper was the metal of the god Hermes and that it helped him develop mental agility and wit. Copper is a good natural conductor of energy, both electricity and the more subtle mystical energies. Because of this, copper is often used as a tool in energy enhancing work and healing. It also acts as a reminder that we need to release the barriers and blockages in our lives in order to proceed with our development and life purpose.
