Dwarves' Earth Treasures Online Museum: Clark Datolites
Clark Mine, Copper Harbor, Keweenaw
CO., Michigan
.
The Clark Mine is one of most well-known and most visited
mine for the datolites that it was mentioned even in many old books on
collecting in Michigan and even today, it is still being visited by many
people. With an exception of illegal attempt at bulldozing (he was caught),
it's one of very few mines that I know of that had not been bulldozed.
Many datolites from Clark Mine are white and some consist of many
datolite nodules squeezed together. I'm starting to see some orange datolites
from Clark Mine but I'm starting to discover that some people mislabelled
the datolites on purpose.
Typical examples of small datolites from Clark.
