There is some datolite that brings out the dreamer in me there. It's spectacular. also hard not to ooo and aaaah over that huge hunk of cooper. :=)
Josh, you're an education junky. lol. there is no cure, but there are many benefits. Go for it!
Yep, same place...my son is majoring in Mechanical engineering, couldn't persuade him to be a geologist :)
but when I visit him I always love to browse the mineral collection.
Is that the college with the seamans museum? that collection is awsome!
Josh
that is a killer specimen you have there...how lucky !

My son found this on the west side of the Keewenaw peninsula in Lake Superior, they are pretty soft crystals as I can scratch the surface with a knife no problem. thinking it is Calcite. I'll let him decide when he goes back to school at Michigan Tech in the fall, they have a bodacious mineral collection on campus and I'm sure one of his professors could do a positive id.
hard to tell, could be calcite or even datolite crystals
Where did you find it? That could help id it
Thanks for the info Josh..will definitely do my homework and see if I come across some, also found a datolite up in the Keweenaw peninsula but only half of it, it's in drawer somewhere, I'll post up a pic when I find it. also got some Native copper embedded in some porcupine mtn tailings from a copper mine...killer stuff for sure.
Thanks Josh
I can easily scratch the crystal part with the tip of my hunting knife...must be the calcite, is there anything worth doing with it ?
