Don't worry about it looking dirty. It happens with copper sometimes, especially when you get it really hot (put a blow-torch on it and you'll see what I mean). This is left over from manufacture and will not effect the heat conductivity much, if at all.
 
yes, it should be a pretty well known fact that copper isn't exactly the most inert material. think of the statue of liberty.. it's green.. and made of copper ;)
