Element 5 Pound Cast Copper Bar

Copper rarely gets the display treatment it deserves, and the Element 5 Pound Cast Copper Bar by Chalcolithic Metals is a deliberate exception. At a full 5 avoirdupois pounds of .9999 fine copper, this bar is substantial enough to command immediate attention — and the periodic table-inspired design, cast construction, and rounded edges give it a character that standard flat bars never achieve. It suits collectors drawn to industrial metals, stackers building physical copper holdings, and anyone who wants a piece that looks as distinctive as it feels in hand.

Key Features:

• Weight and purity: 5 avoirdupois pounds (80 oz) of .9999 fine copper
• Metal: Copper
• Obverse: Periodic table element panel featuring the Cu symbol, atomic number 29, atomic weight 63.546, melting point 1085°C, and density 8.92 g/cc; inscribed 5 Pound Copper, .9999 Fine, and USA
• Reverse: Plain cast surface with the natural rough-textured finish of poured copper
• Dimensions: 3.3″ x 3.15″ x 1.75″ (84mm x 80mm x 45mm)
• Producer: Chalcolithic Metals

The obverse is organized around a bold, recessed element panel — the same square tile format used in the periodic table — with Cu displayed prominently at center. Flanking the panel, copper’s key physical properties are stamped directly into the bar: the melting point of 1085°C runs vertically on the left, and the density of 8.92 g/cc runs down the right. 5 Pound Copper sits along the top edge and .9999 Fine / USA anchors the base. The combination of scientific data and metal identity gives the bar a functional, industrial personality that matches the material itself.

The reverse is entirely plain — a broad, uninterrupted cast surface with the natural pitted and granular texture that results from copper being poured into a mold rather than struck. The rounded edges carry through on all sides, softening the bar’s profile and adding to its tactile, handcrafted feel.

Each bar ships in a protective poly bag. The cast format means minor surface variation between individual bars is normal and expected.
