A synonym of 'Blistered Copper'
Name also refers to a partly purified copper with a blistered surface formed during smelting ( see Blister copper (smelted)).

Copper produced from matte "is known as blister because of the broken surface created by the escape of sulfur dioxide gas as blister copper pigs or ingots are cooled." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_extraction#Converting)
