In a market flooded with cheap imitations, distinguishing authentic, therapeutic-grade copper from mere plated steel is crucial for your health and investment. At Manish Metals (Copper Mart), we have been crafting pure copperware in Jodhpur since 1997, and we believe an informed customer is our best customer.
1. The Magnet Test: The Quickest Giveaway
Pure copper is non-magnetic. If a magnet sticks to your "copper" bottle or jug, it is likely steel plated with a thin layer of copper. This plating can chip off over time, exposing you to rust and negating the Ayurvedic benefits of storing water in copper.
Real Copper: Non-Magnetic
Fake: Magnetic Steel Core
2. The Sound of Authenticity
Tap the vessel with your knuckle. Pure copper produces a deep, mellow, and resonant sound. Plated steel or lighter alloys will often produce a higher-pitched, "tinny" ping. This depth of sound in our products comes from the density and purity of the metal sheets we select.

Authentic copper is a living metal. It reacts with oxygen and moisture to form a dark patina over time. If your copper vessel stays shiny forever without polishing, it is likely lacquered or fake. We do not lacquer the inside of our water vessels, ensuring you get the full mineral benefits.
