'Native Copper' was widely used by prehistoric peoples and was traditionally found in small amounts. More commonly it is found in oxidized ores, such as bornite, chalcocite or chalcopyrite. These ores have to undergo various treatments in order to extract the copper from within them.
The mineral malachite is found in oxidization zones of copper deposits.
Copper is a mineral, steam is not.
