Keweenaw Natural Copper Mini-Nuggets (50+) Arts Crafts Jewelry

Description: Here we have more than 50 Keweenaw natural (native) copper mini-nuggets. All nuggets are variable in size and weight. They range from flat to round. The picture is representative of the nuggets you receive. The occurrence of small natural inclusions of parent rock or minerals is common in tumbled nuggets. The size of the nuggets is typically 1/4’’ or less. The weight of a lot is typically more than a half-ounce. Every nugget is inspected before shipping. Our nuggets are not acid-treated. We will ship directly from here, Michigan's so called Upper Peninsula, which includes the famed Keweenaw Peninsula. Millions of years ago, the region known as the Keweenaw, located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan,was subjected to a violent geological event. The earth opened up and spewed forth an immeasurable quantity of lava, rocks and minerals from its bowels. Among the minerals was a vast amount of copper in exceedingly pure form, known as “native copper”. About ten-thousand years ago, an unknown human race harvested immense quantities of native copper. They left behind countless pits and tunnels. Nobody knows where it all ended up. Then, in the 1840s, prospectors successfully started working those pits for more copper. Later, sophisticated mining yielded even more copper. Fortunes were made. To make an exciting story short: By the early 1970s, no commercial quantities of native copper remained and mining ended. At that point, 11 billion pounds (5 million metric tons) of native copper had been taken from the land. Since then, tens of thousands of tourists and rock-hounds, armed with metal-detectors, have sifted through the barren ground for small pieces of native copper. Needless to say, finding native copper nowadays has become a great challenge (mixed with luck).
