Native copper is one of the few metals that naturally occurs in a usable metallic form as opposed to needing extraction from an ore. This specimen showcases the elemental copper’s distinctive reddish-orange color and metallic luster, with a crystalline structure that is a highlight for collectors. Copper has a Mohs hardness of 3, which is relatively soft, making it highly malleable and thus a favorite among mineral collectors for its varied forms and configurations.

This specimen is not just a collector’s item but also an educational piece that illustrates the natural formation of copper. It is display-ready and comes with an ID card that provides detailed information about its origin.
