Native copper
Native copper. Copper which is found naturally in a pure (chemically uncombined) state is termed " native copper". Native copper deposits are now almost depleted and most mining concentrates on copper-containing minerals. Copper is a soft, dense, ductile, malleable, pinkish-red metal. It is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, and is used in electrical cables and wires and in alloys such as brass and bronze

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of native copper, a rare find in its purest form. Native copper refers to copper that occurs naturally without any chemical combination, making it an exceptional geological marvel. Once abundant but now nearly depleted, these deposits have become a precious treasure for geologists and mineral enthusiasts alike. The image captures the essence of this soft, dense metal with its distinct pinkish-red hue. Its ductile and malleable nature allows it to be easily shaped and molded into various forms, while still retaining its remarkable conductivity properties. As an excellent conductor of both heat and electricity, copper finds extensive use in electrical cables and wires. Beyond its practical applications, this print reminds us of the elemental wonders found within our Earth's crust. It serves as a testament to the intricate interplay between minerals and elements that shape our planet's geological landscape. With every glance at this stunning photograph from Science Photo Library, one is transported into the world of earth science where native copper stands as a symbol of resilience amidst depletion. Let yourself be captivated by the allure of this natural wonder; let your imagination wander through time as you appreciate the raw elegance inherent in such a simple yet extraordinary element.
