*The gemstone in this piece is a lab-created gemstone.  Lab-created gemstones are made of the same mineral composition as natural gemstones, and are created in laboratories with equipment that simulates the high pressures and heat that nature used to create the real gemstones far beneath the surface of the earth.

 

A lab-created gemstone is identical to the natural gemstone it replicates in color, hardness, composition, luster, and looks.   The main difference between a lab created gemstone and a natural gemstone is that the natural gemstone most likely has flaws called inclusions, and lab created gemstones have no inclusions, as the mineral composition, heat, and pressure are controlled in the laboratory.

*German Silver is a silvery metal alloy composed of copper, nickel, and zinc.

Copper is considered a mineral of energy and mental agility.  It is 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 can combat lethargy, passivity, restlessness, excitability and non-acceptance of oneself.  It stimulates initiative, optimism, diplomacy and independence. Copper provides a harmonic connection between the physical and astral bodies and aligns the subtle bodies.  It is said to be a bestower of good, bringing benefit to its wearer.  Copper Therapy is based on the idea that conditions such as rheumatism and arthritis result from a copper deficiency in the blood.

Copper is important, as it is one of the 25 essential minerals utilized in the human body. It is used by cells to process oxygen, to produce energy and also fight cancer-causing free radicals. 

Copper also stimulates collagen, which gives connective tissue in our bodies its strength and resistance.  It can also help joint stiffness as it conducts heat to the area thus preventing the effects of cold and damp on the joints.
