I know native copper does not react to HCI but does react to nitric acid. I’m writing science fiction and I’m trying to create a metallic (non-magnetic) crystal that behaves like calcium but does not react like calcium.
The only solution is to write about something that is copper based. If all copper crystals do react to HCI then it would make this writing process easier so I can make stuff up beyond this point.
I got a C- in high school chemistry. I’m very out of my comfort zone

What do you mean by that? In what other way does it behave? The physical properties of calcium are rather ordinary, and the chemical ones would fall under “react”, so I don’t get this.
