Pretty rock (or elemental metal) of the day: Native copper (Cu)

This is what copper looks like when you dig it out of the ground. Acquired this in York, Western Australia and I think it was sourced from the local area.





Bit of a rush job this so didn't get any decent closeups. The specimen is about 6" wide which made it a bit tricky for the macro function on my little camera. I have the hands of a surgeon coming off heroin, so fine focus wasn't really happening.

It be shiny and satisfyingly heavy.
