The Kupferschiefer is a rock layer of Upper Permian age that is widespread in Central Europe, especially in the subsoil. The copper shale owes its name to the fact that it is strongly enriched locally with sulfidic copper, zinc and lead ore minerals and, bound to these, a large number of other metals (including silver).
