Kidz Rocks Copper Nugget 2 1/2" 4-6 oz Native Float Raw Chakra Healing Crystal Specimen

Kidz Rocks sources these pure copper nuggets from a supplier that mines them from the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. Our supplier custom makes these for us without the clear spray paint coating. Virtually all other copper nuggets sold by other sellers are coated with a clear coating to prevent them from tarnishing green over time as natural copper does. Who wants clear plastic spray paint on their prized mineral specimens? Not me! Only the best products for our customers!

A few times a year just use a little copper cleaner to remove the green oxidation or apply your own clear spray coating if desired.

You will receive one Copper Nugget from the lot shown in the photos that is 2 1/2 inch to 3 inch and weighs between 4 and 6 ounces.

Healing Properties
It is also believed that copper has the power to amplify thoughts when sending and receiving psychic communications. New Age followers carry copper with their stones and crystals to 'straighten' the properties of them, as well they are used when crating crystal wands to be certain of their clear and straight powers. Copper is also quite instrumental in the physical and mental healing rites of many peoples of this world.

Medicinally copper has been used for thousands of years. Ancient cultures recognized copper as a healing mineral. Copper is considered a mineral to increase energy and mental agility.

Mineral Description
Native copper is a form of copper that occurs as a natural mineral. Copper is one of the few metallic elements to occur in native form. Copper is a chemical element with symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum). It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a reddish-orange color.

Copper has many properties which make it nearly indispensable to modern civilizations. Copper is an essential nutrient to all high plants and animals. In animals, including humans, it is found primarily in the bloodstream, as a co-factor in various enzymes, and in copper-based pigments. In sufficient amounts, copper can be poisonous and even fatal to organisms.

The mines of the Keweenaw native copper deposits of Upper Michigan were major copper producers in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and are the largest deposits of native copper in the world. Native Americans mined copper on a small scale at this and many other locations, and evidence exists of copper trading routes throughout North America among native peoples. The first commercial mines in the Keweenaw Peninsula (which is nicknamed the Copper Country and Copper Island) opened in the 1840s.
