Auricupride

Auricupride

Auricupride is a natural alloy that combines copper and gold. Its chemical formula is Cu3Au. It is extremely malleable. A variant called "Tetra-auricupride" exists.

It is most often found in Chile, Russia and South Africa.

The semi-mythical metal known as Orichalcum may be connected to this alloy.
