Native metal

Native metal is a type of metal that is found in nature in its pure form. It's not mixed with any other elements and is already in its metal form, like silver or gold. It's different from other types of metal which have to be made in a factory. Native metal is rare and is usually found underground or in rocks in mines. It can be shiny, like gold, or dull, like lead.
