[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 581129, member: 3960"] My nephew lives at Cloncurry and works deep underground in a copper mine. He gave us some native copper that is formed just like gold in nuggets, many weighing better than an ounce. The copper does have a more pinkish colour but so does some gold. The green certainly indicates a high copper content but an interesting find anyway. I think Driscom's suggestion for a zap with the XRF gun is a good idea. [/QUOTE]
