Copper is normally found in copper ore on planet Earth. Only small amounts are found in cubic crystal chunks, which are distorted.
Copper is present in almost all continental crust, but in very small amounts. It is concentrated, usually, by hydrothermal processes.
Yeah
yes
Minerals.
because they are needed in small amounts than other nutrients
Nutritionists use the term macromineral to describe the minerals your body needs in large amounts, such as calcium and magnesium.Minerals needed in only small amounts, generally less than 20 milligrams per day, are called trace minerals:Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Fluoride, Molybdenum, Iodine, Chromium, and Selenium.

Macro minerals are minerals that are required by the body in larger amounts, typically in doses greater than 100 milligrams per day, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Micro minerals, on the other hand, are needed in smaller amounts, typically in doses less than 100 milligrams per day, such as iron, zinc, and selenium. Both types of minerals are essential for various physiological functions in the body.
The minerals found in food can be categorized into two groups; macrominerals, and trace minerals. Macrominerals are usually found in large quantities in food, and are required in larger quantities for the body. Trace minerals are found in small amounts in food, and are needed in smaller amounts in the diet. Macrominerals: Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur. Trace minerals: Iron, zinc, iodide, selenium, copper, fluoride, chromium, molybdenum, manganese.
Minerals are grouped as macrominerals and trace minerals. Macrominerals are those found in larger quantities in the body and needed in larger amounts in the diet. Calcium and phosphorus are two of the seven macrominerals that we need in our diets.Trace minerals are found in small quantities in the body and are needed in small amounts in the diet. We need to include nine trace minerals in our diets, including iron and zinc.The following table lists the 16 minerals that we need in our diets.Table 1.Types of MineralsMacromineralsTrace MineralsSodiumIronPotassiumZincChlorideIodideCalciumSeleniumPhosphorusCopperMagnesiumFluorideSulfurChromiumMolybdenumManganese

Small amount of Copper sulphate (CuSO4) is used in water treatment plant to kill algae and bacteria. In small amounts, it is not poisonous. But it can be fatal in large amounts.
