Native copper is used to make these artistic free-form sculptures. No two are alike and the shapes are open to many different interpretations. Splash copper is made by pouring molten copper at 2200 degrees F onto a flat surface. When the shapes are cooled, a green or turquoise-colored chemical patina is applied, and then highlights are buff polished to expose the glowing solid copper underneath.
The sculptures are sprayed to preserve the finish and to prevent the copper from tarnishing. Copper is a basic element (Cu) and is the 8th most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust. It occurs as a native metal and in a some 160 compounds, such as azurite, malachite, chrysocolla, and chalcopyrite, not to mention its alloys, bronze (an alloy of tin and copper); and brass (an alloy of zinc and copper).
Metaphysical Lore:
Copper is considered a mineral of energy and mental agility. In legend, copper is said to be the metal of the God Hermes, who facilitates that mental agility, and quick wit. Copper is also an excellent conductor of energy, from electricity to the mystical subtle energies emanating from higher planes, etc. Thus, copper is said to enhance and transmit thoughts, even over long distances. Copper is known as the lucky metal too, as well as the healing metal. It is the conductor of the spiritualist’s belief system. Copper conducts spiritual energy back and forth between individuals, crystals, auras, the mind and the spirit world. It is linked with the Divine and attributes to the Queen of Heaven. Any stone with Copper, in or around it, is said to have enhanced properties and is said to be good for the heart and root Chakras.
