This stunning Splash Copper specimen is a masterful fusion of natural beauty and artisanal craftsmanship. Formed from pure Michigan copper, the molten metal is splashed onto a concrete surface and left to cool into its unique, free-flowing form. After solidification, a carefully applied chemical oxidation process creates vibrant green-blue patina highlights, symbolizing copper’s natural aging process, while the remaining surface is finely polished to a mirror-like shine and sealed with a protective coating to preserve its brilliance.
Copper is one of Earth’s most fascinating minerals—found in both massive and crystalline forms and often associated with elements such as iron, silver, bismuth, and antimony. This specimen captures that diversity through a perfect balance of metallic luster and colorful oxidation.
