Copper Bowl Natural Michigan 3.25 Inch

Description

Handcrafted from Michigan Copper
This 3.25 inch copper bowl is made from genuine native copper sourced from Michigan’s historic Keweenaw Peninsula, one of the world’s most famous copper localities. Each bowl is shaped and polished to highlight copper’s natural reddish glow while preserving the authenticity of the material.

Design & Style

• Natural Copper Finish: Displays the warm, metallic luster of pure copper, with subtle variations that make each bowl unique.

• Functional & Decorative: Suitable as a small offering bowl, jewelry dish, or collector’s display piece.

• Handcrafted Appeal: Every bowl is made individually, so no two are exactly alike.

Geological Background: Michigan Copper
Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula is globally recognized for its native copper deposits, which formed over a billion years ago during the Midcontinent Rift. Unlike most copper, which occurs in ores, Michigan copper crystallized in metallic form, allowing it to be shaped and worked directly. These deposits fueled one of the earliest and most significant mining districts in North America.

Collector & Enthusiast Appeal

• Locality Value: Michigan copper is highly prized due to its purity and historical significance.

• Unique Form: A copper bowl made from natural copper is both a mineral specimen and a functional artisan piece.

• Cross Appeal: Attractive to mineral collectors, home décor enthusiasts, and those seeking symbolic/metaphysical copper items.

Metaphysical Notes
Copper is often associated with energy flow, vitality, and balance. In bowl form, it can serve as a vessel for offerings, small crystals, or intention-setting rituals.

Care & Handling

• Copper naturally develops a darker patina over time. Some collectors prefer this aged look.

• To maintain shine, polish gently with a soft cloth.

• Avoid water immersion, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaning.
