I did like that he points out it's a melange, a blend. I've often felt like people miss that.

I do wonder if there are any compounds with two coppers though, the chemists all seemed pretty intrigued about it!

Interesting: At 3:40 in the video, the chemist says that the sandworms would be so big they would collapse under their own weight since they don't have a skeleton. I'm skeptical of that. If they have a hard exoskeleton, it seems like they would be fine.
