I've always wondered this.

Google doesn't give me a decent enough answer.

I was about to say that :p Yeah it's copper (I think), you can tell because it is Green and that's what colour Copper changes to after years of being exposed to the weather etc.

its made of copper.

wikipedia should say.

metal,if you ever watched An american tale (about mice) the first film it shows you it being made.

The statue is made of pure copper on a framework of steel (originally puddled iron) with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf.

Woah gold leaf?! *goes outside*

Copper and nickle. It kinda looks like stone though.

It was given to America by another country

I am not sure who but maybe it was the French?

I could be wrong

yes, the french gave it to them as a sign of friendship or something. if it was made of copper, does it mean that it used to be redish brown way back in the past? before it turns greenish, that is. and i always thought it was stone though.
