Brass

A distinctive metal with a bright luster, and high corrosion resistance, especially against air and water. Brass is a natural germicidal metal that can eliminate bacteria, viruses and micro-organisms on contact. Malleable enough to form and machine easily, yet sturdy enough to hold its shape well.
Brass may leave a green or blue stain on the skin due to its reaction with sweat, which is non-toxic and easily washed off.
Brass colors range from deep red (high copper) to bright gold (standard mix) and silvery-white (high zinc/nickel). Colors are controlled by adjusting the copper-zinc ratio, and adding elements to change hue, strength and corrosion resistance.
Red Brass (Reddish-Gold): Contains roughly 85% or more copper and less than 15% zinc.
Yellow Brass (Golden-Yellow): Contains approximately 60-70% copper and 30-40% zinc.
White Brass (Silvery-White): Contains higher amounts of zinc or added nickel.
Antique Brass (Dark Brown/Black): Achieved through chemical treatment (patination) or natural aging.

A conduit for positive energy that has the ability to clear the path for courage, growth and the stimulation of personal truth. Brass is often used to attract wealth and prosperity, and in rituals to ward off negative energy. It is believed to boost the immune system.
