Lucite Cube // Copper

Copper is not the only red element available to collectors, but few people would be able to name the rare selenium or the impossibly rare boron red-colored allotropes that also fit the bill. Copper has always been sought-after for it's durability, versatility, distinctive aesthetic, and famous patina. Already it's rare to find coins dated in this millennium that are made from pure copper, as inflation means the coins end up being worth more as metal than as money, and people keep them to melt down.

A controversial niche market has also developed in the audio world for cabling made from the purest possible copper, to achieve the highest possible electric conductivity, for improved sound. The industry has responded by processing copper to unheard of purities reportedly reaching to the ten nines!
