Cobalt and nickel are Group VlllA and copper Group IB elements. They occur predominantly in the +2 oxidation state in soils as divalent cations, though Co + may be oxidized to Co forming very insoluble compounds with Mn oxides, and... 

A number of comparative studies have been made of organogold compounds and related complexes of neighboring metals, notably platinum and mercury as well as the other group IB elements. These comparisons have included such aspects of their chemistry as thermal stability and reactivity, bonding modes, and spectroscopic data. 

Copper, a reddish colored metal, is a relatively rare element, accounting for only 0.0068% of the earth s crust by mass. Like the other group IB elements silver and gold, copper is found in nature in the elemental state. Its most important ores are sulfides, such as chalcopyrite, CuFeSo. In a multistep process, copper sulfides are concentrated, separated from iron, and converted to molten copper sulfide, which is then reduced to elemental copper by blowing air through the hot liquid ... 

This distillate is loaded with the Mineral Fire, which can be transferred to our subject in order to reanimate it. Copper salts also carry Mineral Fire as copper is part of the group IB elements in the Periodic Table, and thus related to the elements under Hydrogen, all of which are carriers of the Fire.

The group Ib elements—copper, silver, and gold—stand in contradistinction to elements such as rubidium and vanadium. These metals are rather electronegative and soft, and prefer two-coordinate directional bonding. These characteristics are not conducive to the incorporation of these elements into rock-forming oxide matrices, and they therefore form their own minerals, occur in the native state, or reside in trace sulfides in the cmst. They also partition readily into fluid phases, promoting their redistribution in the crust, and the formation of ores.
