This is a fantastic crusted 4.3 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 18x14x14 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.

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. 

These are Canyon Diablo classified meteorite micros. You will receive one of the specimens pictured, in a gem jar. This Iron (IAB-MG) classified meteorite was found in Arizona in 1891. So far approximately 30 T of this material have been recovered.

The crater it formed is world famous and is known as Meteor Crater. It is an Arizona Meteorite and one that is a must have for any collection. The Canyon Diablo has been closed to hunting for many years so these pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire and this is a good time to get a fine specimen.

Would make a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes in a gem jar with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Stilbite is a zeolite mineral appreciated for its delicate crystal formations and pastel hues, ranging from colorless to white, yellow, pink, and peach.  It forms distinctive tabular crystals with a bowtie or butterfly shape and exhibits a vitreous to pearly luster. Commonly found in cavities in volcanic rocks, stilbite is often associated with other zeolite minerals.

Stilbite is believed to have soothing and spiritually uplifting qualities, often associated with promoting emotional healing, inner peace, and mental clarity. Many consider it helpful for enhancing spiritual connection, deepening meditation, and supporting dream recall or lucid dreaming. Often linked to the heart chakra, it is thought to encourage love, compassion, and the release of emotional wounds. Stilbite may assist in navigating transitions, amplifying the energy of other crystals, and fostering a calming environment by shifting negative energy into positive vibrations.

Name: Stilbite Crystal

This is a nice fossilized, highly polished natural Ammonite in brown marble from Morocco, it is perfect for gift giving to a new fossil collector. This Ammonite weighs 20 grams in weight and measures 48x39x7 mm.  Ammonites are perhaps the most widely known fossil, possessing the typically ribbed spiral-form shell. These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. They belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus.  This fossil would be excellent for jewelry making.

This is a natural cluster formation of calcite on calcite crystals or two variations of the mineral found in a cracked concretion in a coal mine in Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa, USA.

It is a specimen consisting of two types of calcite on matrix. The first type is a coating of iridescent, dark calcite on the matrix. The second type are white crystals of calcite.   It is in good condition.  Would be a nice addition to any new or existing collection.

These are whole, uncut lava coated volcanic bombs from Mortlake, Victoria, Australia .  The lava crust on these pieces is complete, they can be showcased as is or cut to show the interior. The lava is most likely covering green olivine crystals.

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.

The dimensions and weight of each of these olivine bombs are as follows:

A.  32x25x17 mm / 1.3x1.0x0.7 in  |  14.2 gr / 0.5 oz
B.  37x25x22 mm / 1.5x1.0x0.9 in  |  23 gr / 0.8 oz
C.   43x34x21 mm / 1.7x1.3x0.8 in  |  37 gr / 1.3 oz
D.  49x44x34 mm / 1.9x1.7x1.3 in  |  63.6 gr / 2.2 oz
E.  66x44x33 mm / 2.6x1.7x1.3 in  |  113.5 gr / 4.0 oz
F.  79x48x38 mm / 3.1x1.9x1.5 in  |  145.4gr / 5.1 oz

Any of these Olivine Bombs would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card. 

You will receive 1 of these beautiful raw emerald pendants.  Each pendant contains a raw 2ct emerald and includes a silver plated cage and 18" chain. 

Emerald, the traditional birthstone for May, is believed to enhance love, compassion, and emotional healing, as well as promote mental clarity, intuition, and problem-solving abilities. Emerald is associated with balance, healing, prosperity, and abundance. It is also believed to aid in spiritual growth, connection, and protection against negative energies.

You will receive one of the Pseudomorphs pictured.

Pseudomorphs are mineral specimens that have the external shape of one mineral but are composed of another.  The pseudomorph goethite after marcasite forms when marcasite is exposed to oxidizing conditions and starts to oxidize and break down. As the marcasite breaks down, goethite replaces it in the crystal structure, preserving the shape of the original marcasite crystal. The resulting specimen appears as a marcasite crystal, but is actually composed of goethite.

The Farafra Oasis, in the White Desert, has been known for a number of years to deliver incredible pseudomorph specimens. The pseudomorphs occur within the Cretaceous Khoman Chalk, from which the White Desert derives its name.

These specimens are remarkable for their relatively sharp marcasite crystal forms in aesthetic crystal clusters. They are in excellent condition.  This collector's specimen is unique, of great quality and ready for display.
