Isle Royale Greenstone
The Michigan State Gem is commonly called Greenstone or Isle Royale Greenstone. Chlorastrolite is the mineral name, a variety of pumpellyite. Chlorastrolite is found chiefly as small rounded pebbles on the beaches of Isle Royale in Lake Superior and also throughout the Keweenaw Peninsula. Greenstone is associated with the native copper deposits. The Keweenaw Greenstones are often found as black to green colored nodules in vesicles of the amygdaloidal basalts. Most Greenstones are smaller than a pea, and larger ones are rare treasures.

Thomsonite
Thomsonite can be pink, white or green, often with eyes, dots, and/or a “feathery” crystal structure that has a wonderful chatoyance, like silk. The pinks can range into salmon colors, while the greens are characteristically a forest green, again varying from light to dark. Quality Thomsonite is rare and valuable. Thomsonite is found around Lake superior both on the North Shore and in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan.
