The Lake Superior Copper District of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is one of the few places in the world where one can find a copper deposit in its native, un-oxidized form. Long ago this exceptionally large piece of copper was plucked from its original deposit and transported by advancing continental glaciers during the Ice Age and deposited in glacial drift. The natural green patina has been polished in places to reveal its metallic copper luster. People hunt for them with metal detectors in plowed fields. (Price includes metal stand)
Size of Entire Specimen: 12” by 8” by 0.8”, Weight: 17 lbs
