Auricupride - Definition and Overview

Auricupride is a natural alloy that combines copper and gold with formula: 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.
