Mohawkite is a rare copper-nickel-arsenide mineral that formed through hydrothermal alteration of native copper veins in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This 1.75-inch piece shows brilliant metallic layers of copper and silver intermixed with quartz matrix, typical of the Mohawk Mine region.
Discovered in the late 1800s within the Keweenaw Peninsula’s Mohawk Mine, this rare ore was so distinctive that it became a state-level geological symbol of the Great Lakes mining boom. True Mohawkite occurs only in a few localized veins — making each specimen a finite piece of American mining heritage.
Highly prized by collectors for its dual metallic tones, Mohawkite is believed to merge copper’s grounding vitality with silver’s clarifying energy, symbolizing focus and endurance. This 1.75-inch piece displays pronounced texture and shine ideal for display or study.
Approx. 1.75 inches long. Keep dry and handle minimally to preserve its natural oxidation pattern. Contains trace arsenic typical of arsenide minerals — wash hands after handling.
