Arizona’s Legendary Copper
This ½ lb (8 oz) solid copper bar is hand-polished to highlight the warm metallic sheen of Arizona’s native copper, prized for its purity and historical significance.
Geological Formation
Copper naturally forms when hydrothermal fluids circulate through rock fractures and deposit metallic copper as they cool. Arizona’s deposits are particularly abundant, making it one of the most important copper-producing regions in the United States.
Historical Significance
Arizona is nicknamed “The Copper State” due to its long history of copper production.
Indigenous peoples in the region have used native copper for tools, ornaments, and trade for thousands of years.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, Arizona became a hub of modern copper mining, contributing significantly to industrial development and shaping the economic history of the American Southwest.
