The processes of chemical coloring of metals are as old as metalworking technology. Some of the earliest-known examples of colored metal objects are about 5,000 years old. They are bronze casts with some silver-colored parts, which originate from the Anatolian region. [2] Similar processes can be found on some ancient Egyptian copper sheets. [3]

The color of bronzite is green or brown; its specific gravity is about 3.3–3.4, varying with the amount of iron present. [2] The refractive indices and optic angle increase with iron content. The enstatite endmember has a positive optic sign, whereas bronzite and hypersthene both show a negative optic sign. [2]
