Exposed Copper
Exposed Copper is the second oxidation stage — orange-brown still dominates but green flecks have started to appear across the surface.

Description
Exposed Copper is the natural second stage in the four-step oxidation chain. A fresh copper block randomly ticks toward this state over real playtime: small pale-green spots appear across the surface, breaking up the original uniform orange. Visually, the block sits at roughly seventy-five percent original colour and twenty-five percent green patina — the early-rust look that many builders deliberately target for industrial or steampunk aesthetics without going further into the green-dominant stages.
The block can be obtained without waiting by stripping further-aged copper with an axe one stage at a time, or by waxing fresh copper that has just begun to tick. Honeycomb wax permanently locks the appearance — useful when the player wants exactly this colour and no further drift. A lightning bolt within proximity strips an unwaxed block all the way back to fresh copper instantly. The full variant set — stairs, slabs, cut block, cut stairs, cut slabs — exists at this oxidation level, so any architectural shape can be paused at the early-patina look.
