Copper is one of the few metals to occur naturally in pure form. Pure copper is rather soft and malleable, and a freshly exposed surface has a pinkish or peachy color.
Copper does not react with water, but the oxygen of the air will slowly at room temperature form a layer of brown-black copper oxide. This has a protective effect against further corrosion. On old copper roofs, a green layer of copper carbonate, called verdigris, can often be seen.
Tidal Pulls can be made from copper, however, we recommend a hammered surface rather than a smooth surface, so that scratches and dents resulting from a demanding kitchen environment are not as visible.
