Copper occurs naturally as native copper and was known to some of the oldest civilizations on record. Earliest estimates of the discovery of copper suggest around 9000 BC in the Middle East. It was one of the most important materials to humans throughout the copper and bronze ages. From the Latin word cuprum, from the island of Cyprus
Discoverers | Known to the ancients. |

Discovery Location | |
Discovery Year | |
Etymology (Name Origin) | Symbol from Latin: cuprum (island of Cyprus famed for its copper mines). |
Pronunciation | KOP-er (English) |
Pure copper occurs rarely in nature. Usually found in sulfides as in chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), coveline (CuS), chalcosine (Cu2S) or oxides like cuprite (Cu2O).
