Faden quartz is a unique variety of quartz characterized by a distinct, thread-like white line running through the crystal. The term "Faden" comes from the German word for "thread," referring to this internal fiber-like formation.  Faden quartz forms in fracture zones within metamorphic rocks, where tectonic forces cause repeated cracking and healing of the quartz. As the crystal regrows, liquid or gas inclusions get trapped along the break line, creating the characteristic white “thread” or fiber-like structure.

Many believe faden quartz symbolizes healing, connection, and resilience due to its unique formation process. It is sometimes used for energetic healing, strengthening relationships, and enhancing spiritual growth. The "thread" within the crystal is thought to represent a link between different aspects of life, making it popular among those seeking inner balance and alignment.

This is a set of five chalcopyrite crystals displaying varying cubic formations.  Chalcopyrite is a brassy yellow copper iron sulfide mineral and the primary ore of copper worldwide. It has a metallic luster and often develops an iridescent tarnish in shades of purple, blue, and green. Chalcopyrite often forms alongside minerals like quartz, pyrite, and sphalerite.

Some believe chalcopyrite is a stone of abundance and transformation, helping to clear energy blockages and inspire creativity. Its vibrant tarnish colors are thought to symbolize change and new opportunities.

These top specimens are in very good condition and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a crystal combining Dolomite and Chalcopyrite.  The lovely, light pink blades of dolomite are will defined on this specimen and are covered in tiny chalcopyrite crystals.

Dolomite from the Joplin Mine in Joplin, Missouri, is well-known for its saddle-shaped crystal formations and association with other minerals like galena, sphalerite, marcasite and less frequently Chalcopyrite. The dolomite from this area typically forms in shades of white, beige, yellow, or pink, often with a pearly to slightly curved crystal habit.

Dolomite is often associated with stability, patience, and emotional balance. Some believe it encourages a sense of calm and centeredness.

This is very nice, showy material in excellent condition, a great addition to any collection.

This is a rare and great looking Richland meteorite part slice weighing 6.2 grams. Its dimensions are 18x11x6 mm. This IIAB classified Iron meteorite was first found near Fredericksburg., Texas USA in 2000.  Total weight of this find is set at 50.6 Kg.

A 47 kg iron meteorite was reportedly found near Fredericksburg, Texas. Chemical analysis showed that it is indistinguishable from Richland, a 13.6 kg IIAB iron that was found ~300 km away. It is likely that these meteorites are paired and that one (or both) masses were transported by humans from their original find locations. Henceforth, the name Fredericksburg shall be an unofficial synonym for Richland. The new mass may be referred to as "Richland (Fredericksburg)." A total of 213 g is on deposit at UCLA.

This rare specimen would be an amazing addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Canagem® specimen card plus two original meteorite labels.

This is a great 43.6 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Gardnos Crater in Norway.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 54x43x9mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection item you'll ever own. Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite.

The term impactite encompasses shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts or suevites and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components and shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc.

This impactite was formed between 385 and 900 million years ago in Precambrian time when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a ~5 kilometers wide crater locally known as the Hallingdal Impact Crater. 

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

This is a fabulous specimen of bladed kyanite and quartz mined in Barra do Salinas district, Barra do Salinas, Coronel Murta, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Kyanite is known to be one of the most attractive natural minerals in the world, frequently found with lustrous blue bladed crystals, with the intensity of color varying by location of extraction. Kyanite regularly forms fibrous, radiating crystals, as well as flattened and tabular. Some crystals form with white striations, color bands, and even multi-colored crystals, though typically found with a deep blue streak running down the middle.

Blue kyanite is often associated with clarity, communication, and energy alignment. Some believe it helps with self-expression and speaking one’s truth, making it a popular stone for those who want to improve communication or deepen their intuition.

Sodalite is usually found in the massive form, rather than crystals. Its name is derived from its sodium content. This stone is frequently found with lapis lazuli, but contains little or no golden pyrite specks in it as lapis does. It may, however, contain patches or streaks of white calcite.

Although some people think that sodalite resembles lapis in some ways, it is entirely different in chemical composition and has more of a navy blue coloring.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
