Item Description
The Ahmeek Mine was the only copper mine in the famed Keweenaw to produce the rare organic oxalates, Moolooite (copper-rich, bluish-green) and Whewellite (calcium-rich, white). Rich crusts are scattered on both sides of the sculptural, floater, native copper specimen. Ex Josef Vajdak Collection. Not pretty to look at, but is still a significant Michigan combination rarity. Few turn up for sale.
