Marquette Lake Superior Agate Pendant Copper Replacement Agate significantly reducing reliable access toThis pendant is set with a Marquette region Lake Superior agate sourced from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Lake Superior agates from this region are formed within ancient basalt systems and later redistributed through glacial movement across the Great Lakes.
