X20 Mohawkite Silver Halfbreed nugget ore World class, museum quality half pair

Description

Read the entire listing. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
Items X19 & X20 are a split pair, one big nugget cut in half. I have taken these to the Quartzsite and Tucson shows the last few years. I was asking ,000 for the pair. Not gonna mess around now, getting too old, these need a new home. Look at the other one also. Bidding on X20 only!
There are 3 possible ways to describe these 2 items:
I BELIEVE these are a Mohawkite nugget from Michigan, an incredible huge and very high quality piece. Mohawkite is NOT Silver, but it looks identical to it. For gem-grade pieces I get OVER pure bullion prices. Roughly 0-0 per pound. This piece weighs between 35 and 36 pounds. Mohawkite is composed of a high percentage of copper (all natural metals have contaminates folks, Momma Nature does not smelt and refine ore underground). I have plenty of Mohawkite and you USUALLY never see the copper.
It could be Silver. I metal detected hundreds of old Silver mines. The tailings piles that the old time miners discarded held gobs of stuff that made my detectors sing, and those natural chunks came home by the buckets full back in the 1970's and 80's. Since all Silver mine items went into mostly one big pile in the pasture I cannot tell where most pieces were found. Some I can, but not this one. Some were there 30 years before I cut them open to see.
It could be a Copper-Silver "HALFBREED", which is a mining term for a piece that has both copper and silver occurring naturally.
I can test this with Nitric Acid. NITRIC ACID can kill you if you breath the fumes. It also dissolves Mohawkite and ruins it. Not gonna take a chance especially since these pieces are not going to be melted. These are SPECIMENS FOR DISPLAY. Some gold buyer, casino, miner, jeweler, rich person or collector is probably drooling right now. Here they sit. Pony up the bucks if you want them. SOLD AS IS, no refunds or returns. VIEW ALL PHOTOS.
Both pieces are as shiny as a mirror. Makes photos very difficult. They both have been displayed and moved around. Getting some light scratches on the face and would benefit from a buffing and re-polishing.
No idea where it came from. I hit 500 gold, silver, and copper mines from the Arctic Circle to Southern Mexico. Likely Alaskan, the Yukon, Montana, Mexico or Michigan but who knows.
