Copper

Copper was a metal, with the chemical symbol Cu, that had a reddish-brown tint comparable to the color of Mon Mothma's hair. It had a smell and a taste resembling those of human blood. The presence of copper in compounds like grains of sand gave them a blue coloration.

Copper could be used in lightsaber construction. In 14 BBY, the fugitive Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis acquired enough of it to fashion a lightsaber hilt.

During the Galactic Civil War, copper was used as a component in certain starship fuels. Other uses of copper included droid plating.
