Butchite Freeforms come in a boxed flat of 24 pieces. The float copper butchites can range from 1 3/4" to 2 1/4" in size.
We coined the term "butchites" to describe our presentation of float copper. The raised areas and interesting shapes of the specimens are buffed polished to reveal the brilliant copper shine, which shows dramatic contrast with areas left in the natural green oxidized form. Photos are representative only. Each piece is unique.
Michigan Native "Float" Copper
Float copper is found throughout the Copper Country of Michigan and many nearby states. Glacial movements thousands of years ago altered the geologic deposits of the native copper by tearing and scouring the land. Copper, along with other rocks, gravel, and sand were constantly tumbled and deposited over large areas of the Upper Midwestern United States.
Exposure to the soils, water, and air has oxidized the copper surface a bright green. These specimens with the natural oxidation color, provide a good contrast to the polished copper surface of the cross section.
