Copper; is an essential mineral (metal) for life. Is the primary component in our electrical wiring, our motor's coils, our generator's coils and it is often used to transfer remigration fluids. Copper is also one component in Bronze and Brass and the ability to smelt the softer metal allowed the Bronze Age of technology. Brass is important because of its natural germicide properties (despite all the nasty fluids in a brass spittoon it doesn’t harbor bacteria cultures). Copper metal does react with hydrogen sulfide and sulfide containing solutions.
Copper is used as electrical wire and for water pipes. It combines with oxygen to make copper oxide.
