In November 2024 we switched from exhibiting a ‘Specimen of the Month’ in the Science Library to a’Collection Highlight’ – we never seemed to be ready with a new exhibit on a monthly basis. The first collection highlight, on display from November 2024 through February 2025 was a beautiful specimen of native copper from the Houghton Mine in MI (Lake Superior District). This specimen represents one of the amazing pieces now on display in our native copper exhibit in the Joe Webb Peoples Museum (student curators Ting Tsai and Katherine Morin).
