Description from the seller

Copper is the chemical element with atomic number 29 and its symbol is Cu. It is the first element of group 11 of the periodic table, part of the d-block, and is therefore a transition element. Metallic copper is the second-best conductor of electricity after silver, followed by gold.
It is also called "red gold" because of its coloration. Copper is the metal humanity has used for the longest time.
Copper was already known to some of the oldest civilizations of which we have testimony; the history of its use is estimated to be at least 10,000 years.
Copper nugget, from MICHIGAN'S LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER DISTRICT, Central America and the Caribbean.
