COP-PER 
Copper is one of the metals that has been a part of civilization for thousands of years. Iron, copper, gold, and silver have all been used in one form or another. While you might not think of copper being used for anything but coins, it is a key element in the creation of bronze. Copper has been in use for so long because it is found by itself as a pure element. You could be digging in a mine and come across pure copper in a variety of forms. It's one of those elements that was never really discovered. It has been a part of every step in the development of civilization. The thing we keep discovering is the variety of places copper is used in nature. This transition metal is well known for the two colors that are reddish when pure and a turquoise color when copper is oxidized.
