This is a must have 3-gram Impact Fallback Breccia from the Wanapitei Impact Crater at Wanapitei Lake, near Sudbury in Ontario Canada. Its dimensions are 37x13x5 mm.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection pieces you'll ever own. 

Wanapitei Lake, located northeast of Sudbury, Ontario, is a 37-million-year-old meteorite impact crater, with its impact origin confirmed by the presence of suevite found in glacial drift surrounding the lake. Suevite is a type of breccia containing dark, vesicular glass formed under high-pressure shock metamorphism

Identified in the 1970s, the suevite at Wanapitei is a crumbly, shock-metamorphosed rock that often contains coesite, a high-pressure mineral diagnostic of impact structures.  The impact occurred during the Late Eocene epoch, roughly 37 million years ago. The crater is estimated to be 7 to 8.6 km in diameter, with the lake sitting on the edge of the much older and larger Sudbury Basin. The suevite appears very similar in composition to that found in the Ries crater in Germany, often containing bits of dark glass and partially melted clasts.

Note that this is not a meteorite but a slice of Earth rock, altered by a meteorite impact. A very, very large meteorite.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card. 

This is a rare and fantastic 2.4 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 19x14x11 mm.  Although its exact origin is still debated, the leading theory suggests it was formed by a high-energy event, such as a meteoric impact or airburst, that melted the desert sand directly where it lay, without being ejected into the atmosphere and re-entering. This results in different physical characteristics compared to tektites.

Libyan Desert Glass is found specifically in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, within a more localized area spanning parts of western Egypt and eastern Libya.  Characterized by its yellow to greenish-yellow color, it lacks the aerodynamic shapes of tektites and often appears as irregularly shaped pieces. It is almost pure silica (around 98%) with very few impurities. Throughout history, it has been regarded as a mystical and powerful material, sometimes used in talismans and amulets.

This piece displays extremely well and is a quality translucent specimen. It has an aesthetic shape with a beautiful wind eroded body from the years spent in the Desert. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a fantastic crusted 3.81 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 14x14x10 mm.

NWA 869 classified meteorites can still be interesting and this one is for sure perfectly shaped to catch your attention. It displays a superb crust on most of its surface.  Most samples are individual meteorites but some fragments (mostly >1 kg) also occur. In most cases the fusion crust has been polished or ablated by wind erosion. Many samples are more severely affected and show faces with deep wind erosion features. Fracture faces, formed by ground collision, show a typical gray-green color and sometimes visible brecciation (light and/or dark clasts).

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
