Omschrijving

Unearth Upper Michigan's geological treasures--from Lake Superior agates to rare copper formations--with this quick guide to finding, identifying, and collecting.

The Keweenaw Peninsula and its surrounding area are collectively known as Michigan's Copper Country: is a rock-collector's dream, holding a variety of rocks and minerals. Whether you're in search of iconic Lake Superior agates, float copper, or the famed "Yooperlites," Michigan's Copper Country Rocks & Minerals will help you navigate the region's unique landscape. Written by expert collector Jim Magnuson, the booklet puts decades of experience at your fingertips, whether you're a seasoned rockhound or a curious beginner.

Start with an introduction to the Copper Country's history, geography, and geology. Learn about the laws and etiquette of rock hunting at various locations, from beaches and parks to abandoned copper mines, with Jim's location-specific tips. Get an overview of copper hunting--complete with safety tips--then let the adventure begin! You'll get professional insights on where to look and what to look for. An identification section introduces you to 38 types of specimens: copper, silver, fossils, beach glass, and more. You'll also appreciate Jim's advice on how to clean and display your finds.
