Copper Rippled Wood with Rustic Tiger Eye Pendant

This one-of-a-kind pendant was created from a piece of wood with rippled grain on the surface, and plated with copper. It features a polished Tiger Eye stone with an iron streak running through it. This gives the stone a wood-like appearance, very natural with the copperized wood setting. Golden Tiger Eye is a protection stone which is said to help with anxiety and confidence.

This pendant is a one of a kind work of art, made with all natural materials with a process that is as unpredictable as it is beautiful. It is not smooth, or perfect, but these are not flaws. The copper has been “grown” onto the wood much like nature grows a crystal, and the texture of the wood influences how the copper is laid onto its surface.

Copper was one of the first metals to be worked by humans. We’ve  always been attracted to the warmth of copper’s red color, and have recognized how easily it can be shaped. Archaeologists have found both tools and ornaments which were made from this lovely red metal 11,000 years ago. Today, copper is used everywhere. It can conduct both heat and electricity, better than almost any other metal. Modern studies have proven that it also has anti-microbial properties, killing viruses, bacteria, and fungus on contact. This has led to copper-plated medical equipment for slowing the spread of contagious illnesses.

For those who are sensitive to Earth energies, copper is an amplifier and conductor of energy, both physical and metaphysical. Kirlian photography reveals a very strong aura around copper. Its healing properties have been recognized for centuries, for easing the pain of arthritis through contact with the skin, to strengthening our arteries as a vital mineral in our diets.
