Pharmacological effects on fracture healing: After artificially inducing femoral fractures in rabbits, a mixture of half natural copper and half tiger bone was taken daily for 1.5 months, which promoted fracture healing. The growth of callus was fast, abundant, and mature, and the fracture resistance was stronger than that of the control group. The effect is very poor when used alone. Compound bone setting powder containing natural copper（The chemical composition contains iron disulfide (FeS2), as well as impurities such as copper, nickel, arsenic, antimony, silicon, barium, and lead.

Microscopic identification under reflective polarizing microscope: metallic luster appears under reflected light, light brass color; No cleavage. Homogeneity.

Some natural copper becomes brown iron ore after weathering, which is yellow brown or black brown in color. After fragmentation, the fragments remain black brown in color; Sometimes there are light yellow blocks (pyrite) sandwiched inside.
Characteristic identification: This product is mostly hexagonal in shape, with a particle size of 0.2-2.5cm, edges, and a bright light yellow color; Stripes are green black or brownish red. Smooth surface, sometimes with visible fine textures. Opaque; Has a metallic luster. Weight, hard and brittle texture, easy to smash, yellow white cross-section, with metallic luster. Odorless and tasteless, but it burns with sulfur gas. It is better to have neat blocks, a bright yellow color, and a metallic luster on the cross section.
Original equiaxed crystal system. There are various crystal shapes, such as cube, octahedron, pentagonal dodecahedron, and their aggregates, as well as grape shaped, granular, bell shaped, and dense block shaped forms. There are stripes on the crystal surface. The color is light brass. The stripes are brownish black or slightly greenish black. Strong metallic luster. Splitting into an incomplete cube. The fracture surface is uneven and sometimes shell shaped. Hardness of 6-6.5. The specific gravity is 4.9-5.2. Sexual fragility.

Resource distribution: Produced in Liaoning, Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places.
Habitat distribution and ecological environment: Pyrite is the most widely distributed sulfide in the Earth's crust, visible in various rocks and ores, but mostly formed by volcanic sedimentation and hydrothermal activity. Exogenous pyrite is found in sedimentary rocks, sedimentary ores, and coal seams, and the pyrite formed here is mostly dense blocky and nodular.

Harvesting and storage: It can be produced all year round, picked up in the mining area, and obtained after removing impurities.

Latin plant animal mineral name: Pyrite
Source of medicinal herbs: natural sulfide iron ore.

2. "Compendium of Materia Medica": Nowadays, there is a species in Xinzhou that resembles tangled copper threads, clouds in copper mines, and is fumigated by mountain air, naturally flowing out. It also resembles silver, such as the beard of an old man, and is best used as medicine. The volcanic army is like copper in pieces, but as strong and heavy as stone, with thin force and no time for harvesting. Today, southern doctors say that natural copper has two three bodies, one as large as hemp and millet, or multiple solutions, intertwined in layers, and as large as a bucket, with a bright and shiny color as golden as the top. Integrated into one
1. "Kaibao Bencao": Natural copper is gathered in the mountains and rocks of Yongzhou where copper comes from. It is collected from pits and between rocks, with an indefinite radius. Its color is green and yellow like copper, and it is not refined from mines, so it is called natural copper.
