This core was from The Ropes Gold Mine Michigan\'s Upper Peninsula
The Ropes Gold Mine was a significant gold and silver mine located near Ishpeming, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula, discovered by Julius Ropes in 1880 and operating in various forms from the mid-1880s until the 1990s. The mine produced over $647,000 worth of gold and silver, primarily from quartz lenses within Keewatin lavas. While the mine is now closed and its shafts are capped, rock collectors can still find mineral specimens like pyrite, talc, and Verde Antique marble in the vicinity of the former mine
