Copper (Cu, [Kr idU)Asl), name and symbol from Latinaes cyprium (later cuprum), from the island Cyprus, which was a source of this metal for the Romans. The use of copper dates back to prehistoric times. In mythology and alchemy copper was associated with the goddess Venus because of its lustrous reddish colour and one of its earliest applications, which is mirrors. 

There are many types of distillation—simple, fractional, steam, vacuum, solar, etc. In chemistry we use this process to separate liquids from one another, and to purify liquids. In alchemy, we additionally use this process to exalt or evolve our matter (as we mentioned earlier) mirroring the life, death, rebirth cycle between states of matter.
