Æs Copper, or copper, is attributed to Venus by the chemists; it is a lucid metallic body, sharing in a dark redness, ignitable and fusible.
It is as if a medium between gold and silver, between the Sun and the Moon, as the chemists say. It is made from impure, non-fixed, earthy, burning, red, unclear quicksilver, and from such sulphur; it lacks fixation, purity, and weight. Bad and weak sulphur, like a father of bad complexion copulating with a generous mother, that is, with quicksilver of good substance, generates copper, a son so livid of dark redness. We have copper in two types. 1. Pure, which is found in copper and silver mines; it is such even without smelting. Implicated veinlets are sometimes seen, sometimes even whole bracts thin plates that embrace the stone. 2. That which is smelted from pyrites, that is, marcasite, and also from other species, such as from the fissile stone of Eisleben, and from some yellow and purple kinds of earth; chrysocolla and blue, just like gold.
