Datolite & Copper

My wife, Bonnie, was randomly searching through, buckets, boxes, bins and drawers the other day. She does this occasionally in my shop and storage areas; or she might just decide a dirty bunch of rocks needs to be cleaned.

This cleaning activity produced a beautiful little Datolite/Copper slab that looks like it may have been from the Delaware Mine pile (back before it was hauled away for road fill). This little beauty proved, beyond a doubt, that Copper and Datolite in the Keweenaw are indeed associated. This one was definitely a happy combination.

I cut and wrapped this very simply. A stone this flashy doesn’t need much. Doesn’t the Pink Gold look good on this one?
