  1. Native copper in a sedimentary conglomerate. It is proposed that detrital hematite reacts with copper sulfate solutions to reduce the copper and the fluids carry away the iron and sulfur.

  6. The Flemish masters painted on #copper as it provided a smooth, luminous surface that allowed fine detail and durability of the exquisite works, like this self portrait of a laughing Rembrandt. #MinCup25 ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology🍎 🔭🪐

  13. Voting for minerals is back this week with the new #OreCup! I am taking my art and physics applications voting scheme from the #MinCup25, but the #OreCup25 is making it hard pitting 2 strong contenders against each other in the first round! Found worldwide Copper & Galena have been used since antiquity (see the woodcut of early Galena smelting via Agricola here). Both used for pigments (as with the copper-based verdigris used in this Van Eyck).

  18. Remember dendrites (from the Greek word dendron meaning tree)? They are tree-like minerals that form under special conditions. There is a lovely dendritic #copper sample on the upper right.
