Raw Copper Nuggets from Zimbabwe
Individual copper nuggets from Zimbabwe. Pieces are sold individually. These pieces are raw unpolished copper.
Our photographs were taken with studio lighting so the copper looks slightly brighter.
If you'd like to order a specific weight instead of buying individual pieces, please get in touch.
Copper was the first metal to be used by man. Its history can be traced back at least 10,000 years. It's one of the few metals with a natural colour other than silver or grey. Pure copper is reddish-orange.
When exposed to air copper tarnishes. The tarnish in sterling silver comes from copper which is widely used as an alloy.
In humans copper is present mainly in the liver, muscle and bone.
