Native copper occurs rarely as isometric cubic and octahedral crystals, but more typically as irregular masses and
fracture llings. It has a reddish, orangish, and/or brownish color on fresh surfaces, but typically is weathered and
coated with a green tarnish of copper(II) carbonate (also
known as patina or verdigris). Its specic gravity is 8.9
and its hardness is 2.53.[5]
