Do your research, and you'll find that when metal oxidizes, it makes this powder, called oxide. Iron has its own oxide, and so do most other metals. Including copper. So I was thinking, maybe there could be a new powder called Copper Oxide. You would get it by scraping a sword against an oxidized copper block. It would look, and work like Redstone dust, except more green and blueish. This could be used as a decoration in builds, to make them look elder and rustic.
EDIT: Here's the Minecraft Suggestion link for it, suggested by /u/CJPsalm139. Thanks! https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/4411152320781-New-powder-Copper-Oxide
I spent a few years regularly researching in the National Library of Scotland. A few times I needed to look at obscene songbooks. The NLS kept its dodgiest stuff in a category called the Phi List. (This was much like the British Library's Private Case, described in Patrick Kearney's Private Case, Public Scandal).
Most of this was comprehensible, like the songbooks I was after, or paedophile magazines and bomb-making guides. But one item I had not a clue about was published around 1940 and titled CuO with an explanatory subtitle about copper oxide. I didn't request it at the time, and the NLS changed their indexing methods to incorporate Phi into the general catalogue. When I looked for CuO then, it had vanished.
Any idea what was so dangerous about it? The only thing I could think of was that it might be a leaked document from the Manhattan Project, with copper coding for uranium. Anybody seen this book, or a catalogue entry for it?

The company is currently developing its existing projects including its recently optioned Loner property in Nevada adjacent to Goldbanks, its recently acquired Smokey Lithium property in Nevada adjacent to American Lithium's flagship property, its British Columbia Mal-Wen property and its other recently acquired properties, Black Diablo in Nevada, Hammond Reef South in Ontario adjoining Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef mine, and Lac Simard in Quebec within 20 k of 3 operating gold mines including Agnico Eagle’s Goldex, Canadian Malartic mines and Eldorado Gold’s Lamaque mine.
LONER - GOLD
- The Loner Gold Property is located 35 km south of Winnemucca in the southern Sonoma Range, Nevada USA.
PROPERTY DEFINITION
- The Loner Property currently consists of 16 Federal Lode Claims covering historic workings and exposed low-sulphidation gold mineralization. Victory has optioned the property from Silver Range Resources for exploration purposes.
EXPLORATION TARGET
- Recent exploration in the area includes the Goldbanks Project, an epithermal gold project about 12 miles to the south, and the Coronado VMS Project, which has been exploring for Cu on a property about 6 miles to the southeast of the Loner Property. The area of the Loner Property is prospective for both these styles of mineralization.
MINERALIZATION
- Bedrock grab sampling to date has returned up to 16.6 g.t Au and chip sampling in old workings has returned up to 25.7 g/t Au over 1.83 m. (Silver Range news release dated October 30, 2018) Prospecting during 2020 identified additional workings on the expanded claim block, returning grab samples up to 10.6 g/t Au. Strong gold and arsenic soil geochemical anomalies are coincident with the exposed mineralization and historic workings. The full extent of these anomalies has not yet been defined. ([
My tapwater is blue, so I’ve been trying to find a California-accredited laboratory the tests for not only copper but also copper oxide. Seems like everyone includes the former but not the latter in their analytes.
If a lab says they test for copper, does that include copper and all copper compounds, or do I need to find a test that specifically names copper oxide (that is, CuO) as an analyte?
I did a search, and while I saw many posts about the Copper Oxidation mechanic (mostly ways to speed it up) I didn't find one where Copper Oxide was an item.
When scraping the oxidation off of Copper Blocks, you get Copper Patina. 1 Patina for each layer of oxidation scraped, so up to 3 per block, if it's fully weathered. (If you don't know, Patina is another name for the greenish layer of oxidation found on Copper and Bronze.)
You can use the Patina for a few things
-Manually increase the oxidation stage of unwaxed copper blocks by 1 for each Patina used on it by literally slapping it back on. It's not exactly speeding it up like many people want, but it does give you control and the chance to undo a misclick (unlike with stripped logs)
-
Craft 4 into a decorative block that resembles a lumpy, tealish sand block of sorts. It burns green when lit on fire, but the fire can spread to other blocks like regular fire... because it is regular fire, just burning some Copper instead of wood.
-
Combine 1 Patina with a Torch or a Lantern to get a green colored variant of them.
-Craft 2 into Cyan Dye (Copper oxide was once used as a dye for ceramics, it turns out)
-When combined with a Firework Star, it adds a light blue trail to the Firework's particles as they fall and twinkle out, because fun fact, Copper Oxide is used in making light blue colored fireworks.
Aside from the Fireworks thing, the list above are based on suggestions you've probably seen before, as they seem to be suggested frequently enough. (or at least were when we first got Copper Blocks) And I figured that having Copper Patina as a usable item would be a way to remedy those suggestions without changing how the Copper Blocks work.
I have a few kg of copper oxide pellets (0.5mm thick x 2-3mm long rods) that I want to convert to elemental copper metal. I've seen a method where you mix a few grams of carbon with a few grams of oxide and heat it, but will this process work on a larger scale?
I am trying to identify mining companies who produce Yttrium and/or Barium Copper Oxides.
My thinking is future Fusion systems like Tokamak will be successful and will require large quantities of these REMs for their superconducting magnets.
So any thoughts?
Thanks X
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)
> Efficiency level of the CuBi2O4 cell is 26%. Conventional solar cell efficiency is 30% at most.
> Bangladeshi scientists have made a breakthrough in developing an environment friendly non-toxic solar cell named copper bismuth oxide absorber based, thin film heterojunction solar cell.
> The efficiency level of the novel CuBi2O4 cell is 26%, 4% lower than a conventional solar cell that has toxic elements and is expensive to afford as well.
> "Cost of our solar cell will be lesser than the conventional solar panel as our solar light absorber materials are abundant locally," said Sheikh Rashel Al Ahmed.
> CuBi2O4 has a high optical absorption coefficient and the advantage of having a narrow energy bandgap, from 1.4 to 1.8 eV, which scientists say, is near the optimum value for solar cell applications.
> "Prior to solar cell fabrication, device simulations for thin-film heterojunction solar cells are necessary to understand the operation mechanism," he concluded.
