Copal unites the energizing force of the sun with the grounding, transmutive properties of earth.  A powerful yet gentle healer and cleanser, Copal draws out and transmutes negative energy of all kinds on all levels.
Copal aids in physical self-healing, emotional healing of depression, and environmental clearing.
Copal resin also aids in the manifestation of ideas to reality.  The life force trapped within Copal promotes fertility, and its protective and environmental clearing properties make it a good stone to use to prepare a healing or birthing room.
Berbers call themselves some variant of the word i-Mazigh-en (singular: a-Mazigh), possibly meaning "free people" or "noble men". The name probably had its ancient parallel in the Roman and Greek names for Berbers, Mazices.
The berber language (Tamazight) is one of the oldest languages of humanity. Nowadays, it is spoken by the people of North Africa , Egyptian oasis of Siwa and the Touaregs in the Sahara (desert).
From Central Atlas Tamazight ⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖ (amaziɣ). From the active participle ⴰⵎ (am) and ⴰⵣⵉⵖ (aziɣ), whose meaning is unknown but is possibly related to "aze" ("to be strong" in Taznatit), or perhaps "jeɣeɣ" ("to be brave" in Tamasheq); z and j frequently swap out in The Berber are the indigenous people of North Africa, west of the Nile Valley. Many Berbers call themselves some variant of the word Imazighen(singular: Amazigh), possibly meaning "free people" or "free and noble men". The word has probably an ancient parallel in the Roman name for some of the Berber, "Mazices".

Copal Amber beads are not the same as amber beads. Copal is also a tree resin, but it has not completed the fossilization process, and it is softer and tends to be more opaque. Some of the smaller Copal Amber beads in this necklace were purchased 25 years ago to be used in my jewelry designed necklaces. Some of the beads That were used back then are no longer on the market today, nor is the quality the same. These copal beads are very unique and I was only able to obtain a limited quantity to incorporate in my designs.
