Mohawkite

Item Description

Mohawkite, a rare compound of silver, copper, arsenic, cobalt, nickle and iron, is found only one place in the world - in the Mohawk-Ahmeek area of Keweenaw County in Michigan (making this obviously the Type Locality). This sculptural 3.4-ounce or 98 gram nugget has been polished to show its pretty silvery tone with a hint of gold. A few years back we acquired a stash, which was mined in the 1950s. It had been sitting in a garage for a long, long time.
