Copper is a native element and one of the first metals used by humans, dating back over 10,000 years. While technically a metal rather than a crystal, copper has been used in healing practices since ancient Egypt and is widely embraced in the crystal healing community. It is an excellent conductor of energy — both electrical and spiritual — and is often paired with crystals to amplify their healing properties.

Copper represents the flow of energy, warmth and connection. It has been associated with Venus and the divine feminine in many cultures. The metal symbolises luck, prosperity and love. Copper teaches us about channelling and directing energy, reminding us that we are all conductors of universal life force.

Copper is a powerful healer that supports circulation, reduces inflammation and eases joint stiffness and arthritis pain. It stimulates energy flow throughout the body and amplifies the properties of any crystal it is paired with. Copper supports the immune system, aids in the absorption of iron and promotes overall vitality.

Wear copper jewellery against the skin for circulation benefits. Place copper alongside crystals to amplify their energy. Use copper wands for directing energy during healing sessions. Place a piece of copper in your wallet to attract abundance. Combine with turquoise or malachite for enhanced healing.

Copper is a native element with the chemical symbol Cu. It forms in volcanic basalt and sandstone environments. Mohs hardness: 2.5-3. Major deposits are found in the USA (Michigan), Chile, Peru, Zambia and the DRC. Copper naturally develops a green patina (verdigris) when exposed to air.
