Description

This is a massive piece of copper-coloured nickeline associated with annabergite.

The Agaunico Mine in Bucke Township is an interesting location in terms of the Cobalt mining camp in that while it was first mined for silver, not much was produced. Interestingly, however, gold was found here, hence the name Ag=silver, Au=gold, Ni=nickle, and Co=Cobalt.
