Copper is actually an element, although it is present in rocks as a mineral. Physically, it's a metal mostly used for the conduction of electricity.
As for other rocks, granite and basalt are igneous rocks, as in they were formed straight from a flow of lava. They will be generally of one colour and are not easy to break.
Sedimentary rocks include limestone, sandstone, and other softer rocks. They are basically layers of mud that have hardened and compressed into rock over millions of years. You can find lots of fossils in sedimentary rocks. Beds of sedimentary rock will look like many layers sandwiched on top of each other and should be fairly brittle and easy to break.
Metamorphic rock is sedimentary rock that has fused and reformed into "igneous" or solid rock because of heat, pressure and time. The sedimentary rock was heated under the surface of the earth, re-fused into a solid mass, and then cooled. Some rocks will have different coloured bands around them, this is a good indication of metamorphic process.
The Doushantuo rock formation in China encompasses fossils. The fossils within the Doushantuo rock formations have been found to contain organisms that share traits with Amoebas.
Yes.
A clear imprint of a fish in a rock indicated that the rock is a fossil of the fish. Fossils dating back 3.5 billion years have been found.
Copper is a natural metal that has multiple uses. It can not only be used for electrical wiring and pots and pans because of it's chemical properties, but is also used in coins because of it's physical appearance. Finally, the human could not live without copper as copper is necessary for our survival. Copper traces can be found in a human's liver, muscle and bones.
In sulfide veins and scattered throughout igneous rock, chalcopyrite is found in many locations throughout the world.
Copper can be found in Granitic and Basaltic rocks.

Copper is a mineral. Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a distinct chemical composition and crystalline structure, while rocks are aggregates of one or more minerals. Copper is a metallic element with the chemical symbol Cu and is commonly found in minerals such as chalcopyrite and malachite.

The mineral malachite is found in oxidization zones of copper deposits.
No, copper is a metallic element and not a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the deposition and solidification of sediments, while copper is a naturally occurring metal that can be found in various mineral deposits.
Copper ore is typically found in igneous and sedimentary rocks such as porphyry copper deposits, skarns, and volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits. Copper can also be found in metamorphic rocks that have undergone mineral alteration processes.
Native copper can be found in alluvial deposits, granitic and basaltic rock. The biggest ores of copper are the minerals chalcopyrite and malachite. Copper is mined throughout the world and the open pit mines created are the largest man-made excavations in the world. The top copper mining countries are Chile, U.S.A., Peru, China, Australia, Indonesia, Russia, Canada and Zambia. Copper is found in many other countries as well, it's a pretty extensive list. Trace amounts of copper can be found in our blood - it is an essential enzyme that helps the central nervous poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Chalcopyrite is a yellow copper ore.
