Native Copper in Box
The native state of copper is relatively rare, meaning most of the world’s copper supply is extracted from other minerals. Native copper has been an important ore of copper throughout history and has a variety of uses both industrially and economically.
Native copper is also found in the weathered zones of sulfide deposits. The upper oxidation zone causes a breakdown of primary sulfides into various secondary copper minerals like malachite, azurite, chrysocolla and many others.
Native copper occurs as a single element, it is an uncombined natural mineral. Copper is one of the few metallic elements to occur in native form naturally, it normally occurs in oxidised states or mixed with other elements. Native copper was an important ore of copper in historic times and was used by pre-historic peoples.
Mined from the famous Keweenaw copper deposits of Mitchigan, U.S.A
