I talked about copper, the ancient metal associated with the Roman goddess Venus, in my book Crystal Cash. We may not always think of the goddess of love in association with wealth and luxury, but without love, the birds don't sing and the grass doesn't grow and the planet as a whole ends up in a pretty sorry state.
So there seems to be a logical association in the ancient mind that links prosperity, agriculture, love, and beauty. Maybe not a billionaire's level of prosperity. But the concept of enough and just a little more so that you feel luxurious.
I have several slabs of Michigan copper cut from rough stone like you see in the top photograph from James St. John. It's a beautiful material even if you just collect it for its looks. But you could also use it as a sort of mini prosperity altar. Put a Arkansas quartz crystal on top or maybe even a small grid of tiny quartz crystal pebbles and points -- and let the magick multiply.
I also like to keep bowls or jars of copper pennies. Whenever I find them, I add them to the jar. Even though a penny -- or even a whole jar of pennies -- is not a lot of money on the material plane, I find that it acts as a magickal magnet to draw more unexpected money.
Give it a try and see how it works for you.
