Any mineral from which copper is extracted, including native copper, Cu; chalcocite, Cu 2S; chalcopyrite, CuFeS2; bornite, Cu5FeS4; azurite, Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2; malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2; and chrysocolla, CuSiO3.2H2O. Native copper and the copper sulphides are usually found in veins associated with igneous intrusions.
