Ojibway & Mohawk Datolites
Ojibway & Mohawk Mines, Mohawk, Houghton Co., Michigan

    The datolites from Ojibway Mine were quite an unexpected discovery, and the first datolites I saw coming from Ojibway was the white ones with gray copper inclusions concentrated at the center. I tried to find those datolites with no success until I explored one side where I found one datolite nodule just when the sun was setting. So I came back to that area the next day, and found one more! Those two were in plain sight in the bulldozed track and caked with mud. Later, I would find another big one with so much copper in it. It turned that those with pink dots may be rarest of any datolites coming from Ojibway Mine. I heard that many copper crystals had been found there also.
    I know of only one copper specked datolite coming from Mohawk Mine and it ended up in my collection. :)
