| Established in 1981, Keweenaw Gem & Gift, Inc. is located in the historic Keweenaw Peninsula copper mining district of Upper Michigan. |
 |
 |
| We specialize in Michigan Native Copper and the related ores and minerals of the Upper Great Lakes region of the USA. The native ore in its many different and fascinating forms is used for bookends, clocks, decor accents, and souvenir specimens. Each piece is unique. | |
 |
 |
| Our retail store is located in Houghton, Michigan, home of Michigan Technological University. The store features a lively product mix including copper gifts and specimens, jewelry made from local gems and minerals, rockhounding tools, and metal detectors. | |

| We specialize in custom handcrafted jewelry featuring Greenstone (Chlorastrolite-- Michigan's State Gemstone), as well as beads and carvings manufactured from Michigan stones. |
| Keweenaw's production facility in nearby Dollar Bay houses rock saws, tumblers, grinding wheels and polishing equipment. This is where all the rough copper and related ores are processed into beautifully finished specimens and gifts. Our foundry is also located in Dollar Bay and we cast many items from freeform decor "splash" copper to replica copper ingots. | |

Heaped with copper, a crucible is put in a gas furnace. At the melting point the copper glows white. |
 |
Liquid copper in a crucible is pulled from the furnace ready to be poured into trays of straw. It cools quickly, forming fascinating shapes. |
