Unbelievable Copper Agate Situated in my Store

Not too long ago, I’ve been uprooting Greenstones and Copper Agates in my store. Each these treasures make extraordinary jewellery, and each are troublesome to seek out. Fortuitously, over the previous couple many years, I’ve been capable of purchase a few of each, in previous collections, in addition to searching them on previous Spoil Piles within the Keewenaw.

That is what I noticed after I took off the rind of the nodule I discovered.

I rediscovered a stone from a number of years again. I recall discovering the massive nodule in matrix, within the Kearsarge Lode close to Calumet. I left the half-dollar dimension stone sticking our from its’ host rock, and simply polished the face of it. I believed it was a Quartz/Epidote, salted with Copper specks (nothing outstanding). I simply left it for a specimen. That stone sat round of some time, till the opposite day. I made a decision to chop the stone out of the matrix. I assumed the sample can be the identical all through the stone.

I minimize that nodule out of its’ matrix, and lo and behold, and superior large Copper Agate. It’s the most important Copper Agate I’ve personally found.

You possibly can’t think about my pleasure and thrill to seek out that large nodule was a Giant Copper Agate! This was the most important Copper Agate I’ve ever personally discovered. After reducing that stone from the host rock, sufficient remained to create an unbelievable Gemstone for one more pendant.

The following slice of that large Copper Agate, produced an incredible copper agate. There was a transparent Quartz prime on this one, that I set one in all my Island Greenstones into. Although unbelievable, superior none the much less.

Final week was one of many luckiest lapidary weeks I’ve ever had these days. Sadly I do not need any extra mine rock with large Copper Agate Suspects in them, however I can hope I discover one other large nodule out within the Lode. I’ll look this 12 months.
