Copper crystals can form beautiful leafy patterns called dendrites from the Greek word dendron meaning tree. Dendrites grow due to mineral-rich fluids moving through cracks or during rapid cooling from a melt or vapor. Vote and more👇🏼 #OreCup ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology 🍎 🔭🪐

Patinating copper is a thing apparently. Not for the faint of heart. It involves ammonia, salt, water and a fumigation container. www.instructables.com/Blue-Patina-... #OreCup

1/3 Well this is a first (for me): Native #copper replaces ancient cross-bedded sedimentary rock perfectly preserving the original cross-bedding. Copper does amazing stuff in Michigan. 🤯 More below!

This is #copper. The exquisite golden tetrahexahedral crystal glows with its own light. And the amazing bevels (look closely) and faces! Only nature could create something so beautiful. Vote for Copper Ore. It has it all. Link in ALT. #OreCup ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology 🍎 🔭🪐

#Michigan friends: Come show our hometown hero #MichiganCopper some support!

#Copper is an excellent material for crafting art due to its beauty & malleability, & allows for exquisitely detailed work such as copper hammering & tooling. Enjoy the examples below & vote for copper ore! Descriptions in ALT. #OreCup ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology 🍎 🔭🪐

Of all the minerals in the #OreCup for my art/physics use voting scheme copper wins hands down!

Ok, molybdenum has some applications as catalyst/electrodes/in alloys but copper is the conductor par excellence.

In art we have all of bronze & copper sculpture & many blue/green pigments! Vote copper!
