# Orichalcum > Orichalcum is the Atlantean name for a copper gold silver alloy that expresses the phoenix colors of crimson and gold with clear light as a permission slip reminding the wearer of innate capacity for renewal and rising from the ashes - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/orichalcum # Orichalcum Orichalcum is the Atlantean name for a metal alloy of profound symbolic and practical significance: a mixture of copper and gold, sometimes with silver added as a uniting element. This combination expresses in elemental form the colors and frequencies of the phoenix — crimson and gold — and the clear light that emerges from their blending. The instinctive human practice of creating rings and jewelry from copper, gold, and silver is no accident; these materials form a phoenix-resonance permission slip that can remind you of your innate capacity for renewal and upliftment. ## The elemental expression of phoenix colors Among the natural elements, only copper and gold express striking color — copper the red, gold the yellow. These two elements, more than any others in the elemental realms, embody the scarlet and crimson colors associated with the phoenix in art and legend across your civilizations. When combined, they create a resonance that represents the frequency of renewal, rebirth, and the transformative fire that reduces what no longer serves you to ash, from which you rise renewed. The phoenix is the archetypal symbol of rising from the ashes — living 500 to 1,000 years, building a nest it ignites, consuming itself utterly in flame, and from the ash emerging as a new hatchling. This symbol represents not only rebirth and renewal, but also the spiral nature of cycles: you return not to the same place, but to a similar point carrying the accumulation of all previous experience, starting each new cycle in a slightly different state and constantly expanding. ## The Atlantean alloy Orichalcum was created in Atlantean times as the physical expression of this phoenix frequency. The alloy combines copper and gold — the crimson and gold — with silver as the uniting element representing clear light. This third component, the clear light, is the result of blending the two primary frequencies and creates an uplifted, reflective reality more than the sum of its parts. The instinctive practice on your planet of combining these metals into rings — copper, gold, and silver together — is not simply because they are visually appealing. These combinations create artifacts that resonate to the vibrational frequency of the phoenix. When you wear or create such a ring, it serves as a permission slip: a reminder that generates within you the frequency of renewal, the willingness to ignite old definitions, and the capacity to rise from your own ashes. ## A permission slip for renewal Orichalcum and phoenix-resonant jewelry are tools for focusing attention. The ring or artifact does not do the work for you — you do the work yourself by using the object as a permission slip to give yourself permission to be more of who you are. The physical presence of the copper-gold-silver combination can remind you to generate the phoenix frequency within yourself: to pluck out dark seeds of fear, place them in the nest on the firestone, ignite them, and allow what does not belong to you to burn away, leaving only the clean new self that rises from the ash. This practice connects you to an ancient understanding: that the symbols, materials, and combinations you instinctively create are often expressions of deep knowledge about frequency, resonance, and the transformative power of fire. The Hohokam spirits and the Kachina spirits, connected to the land where Phoenix was built, can be called upon to aid in tapping into this phoenix vibration. ## Practical implications Copper-gold-silver rings or artifacts can serve as physical permission slips reminding you of renewal. The combination represents the blending of red and gold frequencies into clear light. Use these materials as focal points when working with firestone meditation or phoenix visualizations. Recognize that the instinct to create such combinations reflects deep archetypal knowledge. ## Representative passages "This is what was created in Atlantean times that was known by the name of orichalcum was the mixture of copper and gold sometimes they threw in a little bit of silver as a uniting element a uniting force for the representation of the clear light that is representative of the blending of the two of the red and the gold into the clear light represented by silver so again instinctively many of you have combined these metals into rings quite often copper gold silver is quite common as a representation of a ring of jewelry on your planet but it is no accident."— Bashar, Monologue Rising From The Ashes (monologue-rising-from-the-ashes#text) "The two that stand out most strongly, in fact, almost the only elements that express any kind of color at all express the color red and gold, copper and gold. Thus, then you can see that even in the elements is the expression, is the vibration, of those colors, that are representative of renewal and rebirth."— Bashar, Monologue Rising From The Ashes (monologue-rising-from-the-ashes#text) ## Related Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/orichalcum.
