Native copper can be found in alluvial deposits, granitic and basaltic rock. The biggest ores of copper are the minerals chalcopyrite and malachite. Copper is mined throughout the world and the open pit mines created are the largest man-made excavations in the world. The top copper mining countries are Chile, U.S.A., Peru, China, Australia, Indonesia, Russia, Canada and Zambia. Copper is found in many other countries as well, it's a pretty extensive list. Trace amounts of copper can be found in our blood - it is an essential enzyme that helps the central nervous poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Copper is found in what type of rock?
Copper can be found in Granitic and Basaltic rocks.
Where is copper formed?
Copper is a chemical element, and is occasionally found as the native metal. Most commonly it is found combined with sulfur, or other natural acid groups. These are generally derived from fluid flow from volcanic sources, and much of our copper is of this origin. As a relatively heavy metal, it will migrate towards the core of the earth, but the hot liquid solutions associated with vulcanism may bring it to the surface.
Is copper a mineral or a rock?
Copper is an element which can be found in rocks, or it can be found in a relative pure state in nature called native copper, which is a mineral.
How is copper usually found in nature?
i think they mine itCopper is usually found in nature in association with sulfur. Pure copper metal is generally produced from a multistage process, beginning with the mining and concentrating of low-grade ores containing copper sulfide minerals, and followed by smelting and electrolytic refining to produce a pure copper cathode. An increasing share of copper is produced from acid leaching of oxidized ores. Nearly as much copper is recovered from recycled material as is derived from newly mined ore.

Heavy metals in tea?
Manganese (not generally bad), Iron, Zinc, Copper, Lead, Arsenic; from highest to lowest concentrations generally found in teas from China & India (largest producers). Although copper is a necessary human trace element, there tends to be more than desirable in tea. The use of fungicides containing copper is often a contributing factor.
