Copper Aging Stages

Copper blocks go through 4 stages of aging in Minecraft:

Stage	Block Name	Color
1st Stage	Copper	Shiny brown
2nd Stage	Exposed Copper	Brown with green flecks
3rd Stage	Weathered Copper	Green with brown streaks
4th Stage	Oxidized Copper	Solid green

Weathered copper is the third stage. The copper slowly oxidizes over time, changing appearance as it ages. You can use honey or a scraper to clean it back to an earlier stage if you want.
