Atomic Faceplates-Transmutation Faceplate

Transmutation Faceplate

Every Atom of Copper Was Forged in a Star.

Stellar nucleosynthesis is the process by which stars build heavier elements from lighter ones. In the cores of massive stars, hydrogen fuses into helium, helium into carbon, carbon into oxygen, and so on up the periodic table — each step requiring more heat, more pressure, more time. Copper — Element 29 — is forged in the final stages of a massive star's life, in the silicon-burning shell just before the core collapses. When the star explodes in a supernova, it scatters that copper across the galaxy. Billions of years later, it ends up in the ground. In ore. In your hands.

Purple is the color of the high-energy end of the visible spectrum — the color of ionized gas, of ultraviolet light just beyond what the eye can follow, of the stellar plasma in which nucleosynthesis begins. Copper is where that process ends. The Transmutation faceplate renders both — anodized purple bleeding into copper metallic — the full arc of stellar alchemy in a single finish.
