COPPER: is a natural metal that has been mined for more than 10,000 years and used extensively by both ancient and modern civilizations for decorative and utilitarian purposes.  Pinkish in color when raw, Copper takes on a reddish, orange or brownish color when exposed to oxygen.  Over time, the surface acquires a black oxidization and eventually its characteristic green patina. Once associated with the goddess Aphrodite and Venus in ancient mythology, Copper is still worn as bracelets today believed by some to be beneficial for relieving joint pain and arthritis.
