Your specimen is called "splash copper" - and it is a man-made sculpture created by melting copper, oxidizing it (to form the green coloration) and then polishing it.
You can read about the process here: www.spiritrockshop.com/splash_β¦
It's still really copper, it's just not a natural formation of it.

Interesting, It was sold as a especially nice piece of natural float copper, which I suppose it still might be, but it seems it probably is man-made splash copper. Β Thanks for showing me that!

No problem. These days it can be so hard to tell what's naturally formed and what's been altered.
