As someone who oxidizes copper for client projects, I can tell you that it will start to react with the oxygen in the air to naturally form copper oxide. That process can be expedited significantly by the use of simple household cleaning and cooking products, The copper oxide will continue reacting to oxygen over time. Here's the really cool science part. As the copper oxide continues to react with carbon dioxide and water in the air it coats the surface with that iconic blue-green patina. Hope this helps.

That's big talk for a one-eyed fat man and you obviously never played the game.
