List some minerals and anything else that contains it.I also heard that copper can be found in your liver. Is that true?
It happens in the US normally I think in America in copper factories. But I don't know really what it accutaily comes from part of he two countries. sorry ok.
Natural copper (aka Native Copper) as well as minerals with copper such as turquoise and borneite occur in the Western Cordillera of North and South America, roughly equal to the Rockies and Andes. It also occurs in the Himalayas in Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India. Hint: Note the areas are active tectonic regions with faulting and mountain building. Your liver will probably have some copper along with all the other trace metals that get into your body one way or another.
Natural copper is called native copper in the meralogical world. It is copper that is not combined with any other elements. It is found in the oxidized zone of copper bearing sulfide veins. As ground water percolates down through the rocks it chemically changes the ores and native copper is one of the new minerals produced. A few important minerals that contain copper are: azurite, malachite, turquoise, chrysocolla, chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite, linarite, cuprite, and the list goes on... Copper in the liver... maybe, you should ask that question in the biology section.
