Oxidized copper crayon from 1993

So, I was thrifting earlier today and nabbed a vintage box of Crayola crayons(as vintage as 1993 can be, I guess). I was excited that there may have been a dandelion one, which there was, but I found something even cooler looking through the box.

Supposedly, this happened because Crayola used real bronze metal in the pigments at the time. Its so funny that it happened to the copper one specifically lol
