Copper is not generally considered a precious metal, but rather a highly practical base metal, with uses in jewelry and industry. Copper has also been used as a form of currency for thousands of years.

Copper was mined in Cyprus during the heyday of ancient Rome, earning its name cyprium (meaning “metal of Cyprus”). This was later shortened to cuprum with the atomic symbol Cu.

Copper naturally has a orange shine, but the metal can corrode to a dull brown or green when exposed to air and other agents.

Copper is naturally soft, which helps contribute to its high electrical conductivity and use in industry. It is 100 percent recyclable without loss of quality, making it the third most recycled metal on earth.

As an investment, copper is expected to experience continued growth over the long-term, as more investors recognize its inherent potential.
