About the Item
This is a natural sculptural form of a copper ore specimen originating from Chile. Naturally formed over millions of years, this copper ore cluster showcases a deep orange, bronze-like colour with a metallic lustre, typical of the variety.
The naturally-occurring irregular shape is unique to this specimen, making it a spectacular sculptural piece for an interior or collector’s cabinet.
Copper ore
Copper ore is a mineral deposit that contains high concentrations of copper, enough to be economically extracted and processed. Chile is the world's largest producer of copper.
The extraction of copper from copper ore involves various processes, such as grinding and smelting.
It has numerous uses, including electrical, construction, renewable energy, agriculture, health and medicine, coins, and art.
The main ore of copper is chalcopyrite, which is often associated with other base metal ores, such as those containing gold.
