DVH Michigan Native Copper Ore Cabochon Keweenaw 28x18x7 (4978)

 I hand cut this cabochon from native copper ore from the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan's copper country. It is a mixture  of solid native copper in matrix. Measurements in the title in millimetres.  This material does oxidize or tarnish as all natural metals do but the shiny copper finish can be quickly returned with a simple rub with a polishing cloth. I do NOT put a layer of acrylic over my natural metal mineral cabochons to prevent tarnishing as some dealers do as I feel that a plastic sealant ruins the experience of the stone.
