This is native copper from the Copper Mines in the UP of Michigan. I would like to use some of the pieces that I mined last year. Also I assume that I would have to make sure that the matrix rock was all removed. Thank you so much for all your wisdom. Pennie J. (Red Oak Jewelry) Or should I make a depression and after firing the clay place the native copper in the depression and seal it with epoxy .....
