Discovery

Ancient times already know.

Source

Pure copper rarely exist in nature and the mineral has usually have: blue copper, malachite, porphyry copper deposit, sulfide ore are: chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), coveline (CuS) and hui copper (Cu2S), the oxide ore are: ChiTongKuang (Cu2O).

Element USES

Use very extensive, used for alloy, wires, statues, the coin of casting, and so on.
