 The Environmental Literacy Council - Copper
Copper is classified as a transition metal; a non-combustible solid with a boiling point of 2840 K and a melting point of 1356 K. It is corrosion resistant, non-magnetic, and antibacterial.
Copper ores were once used as "...pigments and colouring agents for glazes, and it is likely that copper smelting, which dates from around 4300 BC arose from a happy accident during the glazing of stone ornaments called faience in the Middle East.
Copper is one of the seven classical metals (the others are lead, tin, iron, copper, mercury, silver, and gold) that alchemists linked to the seven days of the week and the seven known celestial bodies.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Keweenaw Waterway   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Originally a small river used by natives for transportation and fishing, the waterway was dredged and extended in the 1860s in a joint venture between the United States Government and several mining corporations.
The area north of the waterway is locally known as Copper Island, because the waterway separates the northern part of the Keweenaw Peninsula from the mainland.
Beginning in the 1860s the demand for Keweenaw copper was so great that Eastern owners of the most successful Keweenaw mines had to recruit workers from Europe to work in their mines.

 Copper History: Copper in the USA: Bright Future – Glorious Past
A copper pendant discovered in what is now northern Iraq has been dated about 8700 B.C. For nearly five millennia copper was the only metal known to man, and thus had all the metal applications.
Early copper artifacts, first decorative, then utilitarian, were undoubtedly hammered out from “native copper,” pure copper found in conjunction with copper-bearing ores in a few places around the world.

Cypriots first worked copper in the fourth millennium B.C., fashioning tools from native deposits of pure copper, which at that time could still be found in places on the surface of the earth.
Cypriot copper and bronze working was relatively modest in the Early and Middle Bronze Ages, and metalsmiths manufactured a limited range of types, including tools, weapons, and personal objects such as pins and razors.
However, the recent discovery of the Ulu Burun shipwreck, which was carrying over ten tons of Cypriot copper ingots when it sank off the southwestern coast of Turkey in the late fourteenth century B.C., vividly demonstrates that Cyprus was a major producer of copper for international trade.
