Native copper wаѕ first cast bу thе Ancient Egyptians around 4,000 B.C.E., аnd wаѕ alloyed wіth tin tο produce Bronze around 3,500 B.C.E. Copper wаѕ associated wіth thе Goddess Aphrodite (Venus) іn mythology аnd in ancient alchemy (or alchemical) practices. In Native American spirituality, the Copper Woman was the first mother for the people of the Pacific West Coast and is the Underwater Copper Goddess, while some researchers do not consider her to be a goddess at all.
Circa 5,000 B.C.E., metallurgy and smelting evolved and copper alloys such as bronze and brass were formed. All are highly able to conduct, transfer, and emit electrical charges / energy as well as having fantastic healing properties, easily fashioned into tools for cutting, and more. Archaeologists believe it may be the first metal ever used by man. More than 10,000 years ago, natural deposits of "native copper" were discovered on the surface of the Earth.
The Neolithic people of that time learned that this newfound material could be fashioned into knives, axes and other tools much easier than the tools they were making out of stone. For nearly five thousand years afterward, copper was the only metal known to primitive man. Pure copper is quite soft and malleable. A freshly exposed copper surface is generally reddish-orange in color.
Today, copper is used as an electrical and thermal conductor, as well as a building material, especially in the plumbing and electrical industries. In metaphysical practices, copper is used in divining or dowsing rods and pendulums due to its high conductive (of energy) and healing properties. As a mineral, copper has been used as a natural remedy for lethargy, passivity, restlessness, excitability, and the non-acceptance of oneself.
According to the Powers That Be website, "This mineral can combat lethargy, passivity, restlessness, excitability and non-acceptance of oneself. It stimulates initiative, optimism, diplomacy and independence. It emits a philosophic energy, free of orthodoxy and bias. Copper provides a harmonic connection between the physical and astral bodies and aligns the subtle bodies. It has been used successfully to amplify and transmit thought. It is said to be a bestower of good, bringing benefit to its wearer. It opens an activates the base a sacral chakras, advancing and stabilizing the the energies of intuition, sexuality, desire and vitality.
