Very large Mohawkite and Quartz (rare) Bob Hauck Coll.

Item Description

Rich and RARE large ore specimen of a sawed, unpolished mohawkite and quartz end piece from the namesake Type Locality. Mohawkite is a RARE mixture of algodonite, domeykite and arsenic-rich copper (and possibly further species) (MINDAT). It is unique to two mines in Copper Country, with the Mohawk Mine being the Type Locality. Massive large specimens, such as this, are RARE because the rich ore was smelted or as seen generally today, it is polished as a lapidiary object to bring out the rich golden-coppery color. Rich ore at 454 grams or 1.0 pound mass. Rare old large mohawkite from the Bob Hauck Collection.
