Copper

Copper was a precious material mined in Rokugan. It was commonly found in the Spine of the World Mountains, Book of Earth, p. 129 especially in the Lion territories, and had many uses throughout the Empire, Copper Mine (Celestial Edition) such as fabricating tools and other mundane items. Emerald Empire; Fourth Edition, p. 136
== Holy Home Tradition ==
The Phoenix peasants at Holy Home Village had no access to crystal or jade, so they tried to test the taint with copper. The so-called "copper test" pierced a body part with a wire which was supposed to tarnish if Tainted. Women pierced their navels to make sure their children will be born free of taint. Bearers of Jade, p. 24
