It doesn’t contain copper, but during rituals, (10[1])yopo seeds were inhaled from plates of this material by the Muisca. Some objects of this material in Reformed Egyptian were deciphered with the help of Angel Moroni. (10[1])Joseph Smith (10[2])translated (10[1])the Book of (10[1])Mormon from that set of plates of this material.
