A very large and rich Silver from the Wolverine Mine. This has almost 100 percent Silver but there is a tiny splotch of Copper on one edge. The Silver has a patina ranging from near black to iridescent to brighter silver tones. Some of the Silver at first glance looks copper-like. Some bits of matrix are included but this is nearly all metal. With low magnification some herringbone and crude crystals are seen as well. In outstanding condition this is a classic and heavy chunk of Michigan Silver!
