| Description |
English: Copper (Cu) is # 29 on the Periodic Table of Elements. Elemental copper is an orangish-colored metal, although it is often nicknamed the "red metal". Copper-rich ore minerals include chalcopyrite (CuFeS2, copper iron sulfide), chalcocite (Cu2S, copper sulfide), and native copper (Cu). Chalcopyrite and chalcocite are often in hydrothermal veins, which can be enriched by weathering. Native copper famously occurs in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, often in basaltic host rocks and as fracture fillings.
Thirty isotopes of copper are known - two are naturally-occurring. Copper-63 is the most common variety. About 31% of Cu is copper-65.
