A Moon glowing with warm copper hues, evoking the magnetic allure of summer nights, when the
sky seems to merge with the Earth into a single, vibrant energy.
Scattered with authentic rock crystals enriched by natural native copper crystallisations, formed
over millions of years, Tropical Moon celebrates the ancient alchemical principle of transformation.
The encounter between the crystal's luminous transparency and the primordial strength of copper
becomes the symbol of two complementary energies united as one: the spiritual, ethereal and
universal energy of light, and the deep, ancestral, life-generating force of matter.
In the alchemical tradition, copper is the metal of Venus, archetype of beauty and harmony. Long
regarded as a natural conductor of energy, it symbolises the vital principle that unites the material
and the spiritual worlds. It is associated with the Heart Chakra, Anahata, the centre of emotions and
unconditional love, where prana flows.
Rock crystal is the purest expression of mineral light, a symbol of spirituality, awareness and
wisdom. Considered a powerful energetic amplifier, it is associated with the Crown Chakra,
Sahasrara, the centre of universal consciousness and cosmic energy.
Tropical Moon tells the extraordinary story of Nature's ability to unite the primordial strength of
metal with the purity of crystal, the Crown Chakra with the Heart Chakra, in a perfect balance
between matter and spirit.
Technical Information — Rock Crystal with Native Copper
Mineralogical name: Rock Crystal (Clear Quartz)
Chemical composition: Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂)
Associated mineral: Native Copper (Cu)
Crystal system: Quartz – Trigonal / Native Copper – Cubic (Isometric)
Hardness: Quartz 7 / Native Copper 2.5–3 (Mohs scale)
Lustre: Quartz – Vitreous / Copper – Metallic
Colour: Quartz – colourless and transparent / Native Copper – bronze with natural oxidation.
Geological origin: Rock crystal forms through the slow crystallisation of silica-rich solutions
within cavities and fractures in the Earth's crust. Native copper crystallisations develop when
copper naturally precipitates during hydrothermal processes, depositing directly onto the surface of
quartz crystals. This rare geological association gives rise to specimens of exceptional
mineralogical and aesthetic value.
Origin: Namibia
