**Please note: select materials are pure copper, a soft, malleable and ductile metal. Copper will naturally react to elements in the air to form copper oxide. As copper oxide continues to react with carbon dioxide and water in the the air, it coats the surface with an iconic green-blue patina color. If desired, oxidized copper can be reversed and restored somewhat with a mixture of white vinegar and salt.
