Beautiful piece of copper. OMG that cabochon is so awesome, love how the copper shines, like mirrors 👍Those copper tiles are awesome also! I have a few pieces of copper I found in Copper Harbor many moons ago. I tumbled them of coarse. It removed all the matrix and left the copper :) I miss Lake Superior. I hope to get up there again soon. Oh boy your corn field agate hunt sounds really good. Can't wait to see some of your finds 😊
@upnorthadventureswithccc yes I remember the good Ole days when things weren't as fashionable as they are today. Like the gravel pit we'd get buckets of moonstone from for free. No it's private and you have to pay to dig.
Natural copper formations look really fascinating. I haven't found any copper yet because I haven't had the opportunity to go to copper deposits. Each one is beautiful. Thank you.🧡
Those native copper pieces really amaze me. The melting point of copper is slightly higher than that of gold. If I hike up my mountain a little ways, I can see the second largest copper mine in the United States, Kennecott Copper mine in Bingham Canyon. It's second only to the Morenci mine in Arizona. It is a true wonder to see a mine like Kennecott in person. The dump trucks look tiny in the mine until you notice the tiny human next to the dump truck. I have found a bunch of copper ore to the south of Kennecott, but I have yet to find any native copper. You guys have some incredible copper related rocks up yonder there. Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to own one of those copper replacement agates from up there in the U.P. Thanks for sharing all these different forms of copper. Really cool video.
@RockyMountainBear thanks. Yes I've been dreaming about copper aggies as well. Back in the day we use to be able to enter alot of places and find it readily on the beaches. It must be amazing to see that pit in real life like going to the grand canyon pictures just can't compare.
Love copper. My mother lived up in Lake Linden Michigan. I found copper laying on the ground in grandparents land. I got to bring a metal detector up next time.
I did not know they made tiles intentionally. I thought those were called fire bricks, my understanding is the brick foundation under / in a smelting area would get impregnated with copper and end up looking similar to the tiles. But if people were recreating that artificially who knows.
@VersaiOnline OH yes that's good to know. They would be pretty small for tiles and no way to secure them. The old guy (older then me) that I got them from just called them tiles so I ran with it.

Very natural and it has beautiful patterned fibers. If this is close by I will join

@@SRLGemstone yes but it gets harder and harder to find anything good nowadays.
@@Wisconsinrockstalker And your finds are beautiful. The harder they are to find, the more precious they are.

@greatnorthernviews3052 yes metal detectors are the best for finding copper and a bonus is you get a lot of other garbage out of the environment.
@@Wisconsinrockstalker Yes I always take it out plus I find old coins sometimes.
@greatnorthernviews3052 yes one of my many hobbies
@@Wisconsinrockstalker I always am doing something all the time.
I usually come to these low view videos/channels to make fun of things but this is actually cool as hell. Good videos man!
@DStrong. thanks I appreciate it. Just doing what I enjoy.
The first piece was Kingstone conglomerate. Those slabs are fire brick from kiln furnace. The bricks got imbedded with hot melted copper.
@finpainter1 yes thanks for the insight, they guy I got them from kept calling them tiles.
