Native copper (Cu) is found in the oxidation zone above sulfide copper deposits, basalts, and sedimentary rocks. Mining sites in Tibet (mindat.org).
The indian name tāmra refers to copper, which is of two types : nepālaja (obtained from Nepāla-deśa, modern Nepal) and mlecchaja (obtained from places other than Nepāla-deśa) (wisdomlib.org).
