Well worth the money, Kendra. I used these to make bead bracelets as gifts, but can barely part with them! LOL. Buy and enjoy.

I am not really sure if it is copper all the way thru. But I have had mine for over a year. The copper has not wore down to a different metal. I hope this helps you. Oh! it really helped my sore wrists. Would buy another one.

The actual color is a copper like color. It looks very nice, you'll like it.

It does come off, and honestly I'm not too happy about it. The color that shows through is copper. I'm disappointed in how quickly it wore off, less than 6 months.

I am not sure. If the metal is black in color in some cases the color will fade to reveal the actual metal color. The cleaning works instantly.

I would call the color - oxidized copper. It has black "pits and scratches" that give it an aged look. It is not red.

The coating is plastic, and is not biodegradable. It will discolor; it may stiffen, but I don't expect it to corrode or erode. What's important is that the copper is not exposed to the elements; if you are terminating the wires outdoors, make sure you don't expose too much copper, and be sure to use outdoor-quality equipment. (I have this wire going through a hole in my basement wall above my sliding door and out to Bose outdoor speakers, below my deck. Works fine so far."

I'm pretty sure it's not a real copper coating. Even if it is, it has some sort of clear coat. Mine cleans up nice and holds its shine with just soap and water

It does leave a purple tone in mine (but I don't mind) mostly if I leave it in to long or if I use it everyday. A simple shampoo switch and its washed out!

Yes, it turns a darker amber as it has oxidized (through normal opening of the bottle). It shouldn't affect its properties, but if you bought it "new", I would question the source. It should be an almost clear golden tone. Someone opened your bottle. Why?

For me, it didn't rust, but the metal on the bottom inside became splotchy and discolored. And it happened after the first time of use. You can see what it looks like here: http://tinypic.com/r/zv6h3d/5 (I still use it though.)

The base is in 2 parts, top is copper color I doubt it is actually copper, the bottom part of base is plastic. I've had it several months with no issues.

Mine hasn't and I've had it for a few months. It's plastic so it's not likely to fade for a while.

The bowl I bought is made by Old Dutch and to the best of my knowledge is pure copper. My bowl also came with a small discoloration which doesn't affect using the bowl. The nature of copper is to discolor which can be removed with a good copper cleaner. I don't use my bowl very often so it is constantly developing a darkish coating.

My daughter has had the copper color for a couple of years and I think that the color has faded a bit. It doesn't look near as nice as it was new in the showroom and they keep it clean. So, when I decided to replace my old weber I chose the standard black and have been very happy with my decision. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the delay in response to your question. I don't believe the pot will turn green because I believe the description said it was not actually copper, but was made to appear that way. I think it is made out of steel, so rust would be more of a concern. So far, mine has kept it's original appearance over the three months it has been out in the weather. Hope this helps.

It usually is the optimal material. It will outperform all other pastes, but may require more maintenance. Depending on usage, you might have to replace it once every 6 months to a year as it will dry out. Also, it'll stain the copper on your block and you'll need to scrub it down. If you don't care about these two things, go for it.
