Moscow Copper Mug

Moscow Copper Mug

Anyone have an idea about this. I decided to charge my water using my copper mugs. I did pour water from evian bottled water into it and covering it for 12+ hours. When I take the top off I find things floating at the surface. I thought I hadn't cleaned them well enough so I washed them again with lemons, rinsing multiple times. I thought it might also be from the fabric covers they came with so I used foil instead this time. Again both mugs have floating things in them. So my question is could they be micro plastics? Or quite possibly the mugs aren't 100% copper which would irritate me as they were advertised as such when I bought them years ago.

I haven't used them in years and were stored in the origianl moscow mule box until a few days ago when I decided I need some copper in my life. I did just go out today and purchase water in glass bottles to see if it continues to happen like this. I have easily poured these floaters off, but Im wasting water at this point. Thoughts?
