The Artwork of it All

Isle Royale Greenstones, Thomsonite, Datolite, Lake Superior Agates, Petoskey Stones, Pudding Stones, Kona Dolomite, Copper Agates, and Silver/Copper Nuggets (aka Half-breeds), have at all times been the bottom for our enterprise.

Our final weblog addressed the preferred Rocks & Minerals we make jewellery from, and promote on line. This weblog will present examples of what we make from these core stones proven in Half 1.

Darkish eyed Thomsonite-A fan favourite.

The frequent identify for classic industrial automotive paint is Fordite. This piece is from the Century Boat Firm in Manistee, so that you would possibly name it Centuryite! This metallic paint was used on their line of ski boats, again within the day.

Cockle Shells have been mixed with Greenstone (left) and Thomsonite (proper) to create a “Snowbird” pendant for Northerners that endure in Florida all winter. The shells nestle a Greenstone and a Thomsonite.

Yellow Keweenaw Level Datolite. Yellow or Caramel Datolite has at all times been related to Keweenaw Level . You must dive for these little buggers.

Pudding Stone; You possibly can’t miss the Jasper on this one. Pudding Stone trivia; the bedrock for Pudding Stone in close to Sudbury, Canada. You possibly can work out how far this materials surfed within the glacier until, earlier than it was deposited.

I notice I used to be a bit “artsy”, with the photographs, on this weblog. The images look nice and I hope they make you as completely satisfied as they made me.
