Leland and Frankfort Michigan became boom towns in the 1870s when Lake Superior Iron Company began shipping ore from the UP to create ingots of the pig iron. Charcoal from the local hardwoods were made in large “beehive” furnaces and burned with limestone flux to separate the iron. The byproduct was a glassy slag in a unique variety of blue and green shades. It now washes ashore Michigan beaches as modern day treasure.
