Glaciers crossed Michigan's upper peninsula severa times thousands of years ago, scouring the landscape and eroding vast quantities of rock, transporting it and redepositing it elsewhere. This is a nugget of natural copper that was picked up and dropped by one of these glaciers! It has been polished to bring out its penny-bright luster, which contrasts nicely with the recessed areas of the natural "antique" patina. This nugget weighs 5 ounces. 5.4 x 3.8 x 2.9 cm
