This is a very rare material from the old Mohawk copper mine in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This was only my second time trying this stuff and the first was not very successful so I was pleased with this one. Could just be a better grade of the material this time. This one deserves a better wrap or setting then I can give it so it will be up for sale. Pictures do not do it justice. I recommend the video clip www.facebook.com/302839849816115/videos/726577044109058/Thanks for looking Chuck

beauty, is that copper? It looks like silver?! A mixture of algodonite, domeykite and arsenic-rich copper (and possibly further species). Originally reported from Mohawk Mine, Mohawk, Keweenaw Co., Michigan, USA. Chuck

Man, that's a beauty Chuck! I had a polished slab of this stuff that I took out of my cabinet last week, slapped a big price tag on it and took it to the Flagg show not really expecting it to sell. It went fast, and yeah now I'm regretting it.

I love that material and cab, wish I had some. I am like a crow and drawn toward shiney objects. Hurts my nose when I am picking at the screen. Great job.

SA WEEEET! I love that stuff! I have a slab that I am afraid to cut anymore. I just want to keep it and look at it. Don't sell it too cheap, Chuck. It's pretty popular stuff.
