Auricupride
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
