{"title":"Copper","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNative Copper\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the few metals found in the earth in its pure, uncombined form, crystallizing in the isometric system as a native element mineral belonging to the \u003cstrong\u003eCopper Group\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its warm copper-red color, metallic luster, and heavy, malleable feel make it instantly recognizable, though exposed surfaces often tarnish to dark brown, black, or green as a patina develops. Crystals typically appear as cubes, dodecahedrons, or complex twinned and arborescent growths, and well-formed specimens are considerably rarer than the massive or wire habits more commonly seen on the market. Copper has been prized since antiquity, worked into tools and ornaments millennia before smelting was discovered, and its name traces back to Cyprus, a source of ancient copper mines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe undisputed type locality for fine mineral specimens is the \u003cstrong\u003eKeweenaw Peninsula\u003c\/strong\u003e in Michigan, where copper precipitated from hydrothermal fluids moving through the Precambrian basalts of the \u003cstrong\u003ePortage Lake Volcanics\u003c\/strong\u003e roughly 1.1 billion years ago. Historic mines such as \u003cstrong\u003eCalumet\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eQuincy Mine\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAhmeek Mine\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eOsceola\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCentral Mine\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eWhite Pine\u003c\/strong\u003e produced the world's largest documented copper mass, along with the intergrown copper-and-silver specimens locally nicknamed \"halfbreeds.\" In Arizona, the districts of \u003cstrong\u003eAjo\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMorenci\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRay\u003c\/strong\u003e, and especially \u003cstrong\u003eBisbee\u003c\/strong\u003e have yielded copper specimens that remain highly valued by collectors despite copper being a comparatively minor component of the ore there. A wholly different and equally celebrated occurrence is \u003cstrong\u003eCorocoro\u003c\/strong\u003e in Bolivia, famous worldwide for copper pseudomorphs after hexagonal \u003cstrong\u003earagonite\u003c\/strong\u003e crystals, embedded in Miocene sandstones and dug from shallow adits as prized floater specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the Americas, notable native copper has come from \u003cstrong\u003eBroken Hill\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eGirilambone Copper Mine\u003c\/strong\u003e in New South Wales, Australia; \u003cstrong\u003eOnganja\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eTsumeb\u003c\/strong\u003e in Namibia; the \u003cstrong\u003eCallington District\u003c\/strong\u003e in Cornwall, England, where copper pseudomorphs after iron nails are documented; and China's Hubei and Jiangxi provinces, including the \u003cstrong\u003eDaye\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eChengmenshan\u003c\/strong\u003e deposits.
