Native copper is an uncombined form of copper that occurs as a natural mineral. Copper is one of the few metallic elements to occur in native form, although it most commonly occurs in oxidized states and mixed with other elements.

Copper occurs in its native form in Chile, China, Mexico, Russia and the USA. Various natural ores of copper are: copper pyrites (CuFeS 2), cuprite or ruby copper (Cu 2 O), copper glance (Cu 2 S), malachite (Cu(OH) 2 CuCO 3), and azurite (Cu(OH) 2 2CuCO 3). Copper pyrite is the principal ore, and yields nearly 76% of the world production of copper.
