Leland Blue is an industrial waste known as slag that resulted when molten products in the Leland Lake Superior Iron Company's furnaces were quickly cooled, creating a glass-like solid in much the same way that the volcanic glass called Obsidian is made. Because of its specific origin, Leland Blue is typically not found anywhere but along the shorelines flanking the spot where those furnaces were located: at the mouth of the Leland River, where historic Fishtown is now found.
This beauty weighs 4.8oz and is truly a collector's piece! The characteristics are unique and no two pieces of Leland Blues are the same!
