Great article on copper! As someone who creates jewelry using this mineral, I appreciate the historical facts concerning its use in jewelry and elsewhere. The health benefits regarding copper are also extremely interesting. I have a BS in Natural Health and appreciated that information – whether or not one believes in it. Thanks for the thorough article.
Thanks so much for the story on copper. I have always used copper and have loads of it, my husband is a Master Electrican. Until I read your story, I did not put alot the knowledge I knew about copper together. Your samples were wonderful and again gave me new inspriation for designs. Again thanks for all the “extra” information you give to us.
I’m glad to know this too! Joy
